[QUOTE="Smurfy, post: 1144666, member: 85743"] I’m not convinced that the outcome should be the deciding factor in the sanction as it is completely arbitrary and down to luck more than anything else. I think the recklessness of the action is a much fairer way of deciding. For me the Curry incident didn’t result from any recklessness on Curry’s part, and up until the head contact he has done nothing wrong. Anyone who suggests that he should have made a series of adjustments in the split second he had available to him in that situation is being totally unrealistic. I thought that if either of the cards was going to be upgraded it would be Carreras’ because he was completely reckless regardless of where the initial contact with Ford was. Unfortunately there are always going to be bad physical contacts in rugby, and it is absolutely necessary that these be reduced in numbers, but I believe that eliminating recklessness through sanctions is a better way of going about it.
