[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 966596, member: 72977"] People have pointed out the problem. WR needed to rigorously enforce the laws before the world cup, so that all of this stuff happened and it forced players to adapt their tackling. However they didn't, made a point of enforcing player safety at the world cup and it's led to lots of cards. Eventually players will start tackling better and there will be less red cards, but that won't happen until after the world cup. For me the grey area at the moment seems to be clearing out at rucks, because players charge in recklessly and I think there is just as much risk of head injuries there. Some are being picked up, but it certainly isn't getting the same attention as high tackles. It wasn't the same level. I guess WR would say (hypothetically, if cited and called a red) that both are red and then the differentiation comes when cited and the ban after. As people have highlighted WR have built a rod for their own back with the framework in an attempt to be more consistent and they've created a situation where the spotlight is on it at a major event.
