[RWC2019][Pool C] Round 2 - England vs. USA (26/09/2019)

interesting to hear the pundits outrage over Quill's challenge on Farrell, illegal yes, dangerous yes, straight red yes - but worthy of note that it's the sort of challenge Farrell regularly does himself (no arms)
No arms/ poor wrapping, is not the same thing as a shoulder charge.
 
Always red!! now just waiting to see when Farrell does his standard no arms tackle later in the tournament if he gets penalized

Difference is Farrell tackles badly to knock the player back. There 7 intentionally threw his shoulder into Farrell's head. You could see his shoulder rotate on the far angle.
 
Thin Joe's been unfairly dismissed this game, they've not really created much space for him. They're using him to create space not exploit it.
 
That doesn't look good the way he's lying....

No Replay either is always a bad sign.
