[QUOTE="Skylinerd1, post: 863065, member: 75206"] Exactly, the rule changes have done NOTHING other than practically criminalize the players. These incidents happen and will always happen. The slow mo and camera angles killing some players and not others is another major problem. IMO it should be mandatory say for SBW incident that the slo mo has to be played after the incident at original speed atleast once. Replaying a slo mo of these incidents 10 times does not give as true a picture as some might think and can make certain things appear worse than they are with the crowd going bezerk. A red card for what SBW did imo is over the top in any major match of rugby. I still think they had it close to right when they had yellows and then citings and no such thing as red cards. Reds are being overused. Not saying there isnt a place for Reds I just dont think this should be the case for one. The only good thing to come out of the whole thing is it has made this particular series interesting and imo its a pretty **** way of making up for a team thats clearly out of their depth. Next time something like this happens it wont be in a test series and will ruin the game as it always does. It was hard to watch atleast half of this match after the send off as it just didnt have the same feeling about it. [/QUOTE]
