    Red card



  • Registered Users Posts: 17,141 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    That's an elbow to the head.

    It should be a red card, but I don't trust Peyper.

    Oooh.. sore!



  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 8,081 ✭✭✭fitz


    Red.

    Literally jumps into him.

    in my defence im typing with two eyes on the game. You're lucky to get full complete words.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,806 ✭✭✭q2ice


    Red card



  • Registered Users Posts: 55,525 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Tried to make it look benign, but I think he knew what he was doing



  • Registered Users Posts: 17,181 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    Nasty collision, red card coming up.

    Good man Jaco. Steward had ample opportunity to avoid that or wrap him.



  • Registered Users Posts: 632 ✭✭✭squidgainz


    Harsh red that.



  • Registered Users Posts: 11,495 ✭✭✭✭Burkie1203


    Owen Farrell should get one too for being a fcuking bellend

    Red Card?!?



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,009 ✭✭✭Wossack


    Jump turn, lead with the elbow, kinda had to be



  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 8,081 ✭✭✭fitz


    He absolutely did.

    The talk of not having time to react was nonsense.



  • Registered Users Posts: 55,525 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    On, so that is 15-14 for rest game, yes?



  • Registered Users Posts: 11,368 ✭✭✭✭fullstop


    That looked a bit harsh. At full speed never looked a red, but looked much worse slowed down.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 14,599 Mod ✭✭✭✭CIARAN_BOYLE


    i certainly agree. It was red.

    I would give some mitigation for the late decisionmaking but thats mitigation in terms of reducing the ban rather than mitigation to yellow.

    Stewart: "It was milliseconds, what could I do?"

    Ref: "You had enough time to turn sideways"

    Another joke of a decision. Game is gone.

    Running everything in slow motion is a **** joke!!!



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,796 ✭✭✭Augme


    I hope they sort out this situation before the world cup. It woukd be awful to see a big world cup game ruined on the back on a decision like that.



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,121 ✭✭✭Cypher_sounds


    Don't let him fool you, they tried similar with Sexton earlier. He knew what he was doing. Right decision.



  • Registered Users Posts: 154 ✭✭magic17


    What a farce, how is that a red. Won't be long before they're playing tag rugby instead so nobody gets hurt.



  • Registered Users Posts: 17,141 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Really should have scored points there before England had a chance to reorganise their side at half time.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,837 ✭✭✭TheRona


    That's extremely harsh, and another example where a red card ruins a contest.

    The ball was knocked on, and Keenan wasn't even a ball carrier until a split second before the contact. It's not like he could have lined him up for a tackle from a long way out.

    Rugby needs to sort this stuff out.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,163 ✭✭✭tritriagain


    agreed. players will soon be afraid to make contact. watched at full speed nothing in it slow mo replays ruing the game



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,971 ✭✭✭Soups123


    Let them off the hook there poor outcome to come away with nothing from all that pressure

    No.

    All the factors were there.

    England players leaving shoulders, elbows and hips in all day. Its a risky game and it went badly for him there. But the sanction was correct.
