[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 964149, member: 40658"] I’m not disagreeing that both should’ve gotten the red card. But for the sake of keeping the game a spectacle, it would have been the worst thing. Especially because it was both props. It would’ve meant 8-men uncontested scrums, which would’ve meant 2 less players in the backline. That’s basically just training your setpiece. And that wouldn’t have helped our guys either as we wouldn’t get much preparation for the QF’s. That’s why I asked what would’ve been the point. By red carding the main offender, we got a justifiable advantage, even though we didn’t need it. Red carding both, for a whole half to play with 13 men, wouldn’t have been great for the World Cup.
