That'll be a red card.
Winnett was low
Could go either way
After it was judged to be foul play it was basically always going to be red.
-
Catch and drive has been excellent
Ball transfer / decision making poor
-
Initial game plan and execution was very good
Now Wales trying too hard
-
Fair play to Fiji
-
I have no problem with this ref’s decisions
And he admits when he’s wrong
Wish he’d clean up the diving in at the ruck
-
Don't understand why Gats persists with Griffin at tighthead, I get that he has potential but hasn't played.
Henry Thomas is performing well this season, just a head scratching decision for me. -

Radradra's should have been YC. Mitigation: Oppo player at almost hip height
A player being low is not mitigation once foul play has already been determined (but it can result in no foul play being determined by the ref). A sudden drop in height can be - but that wasn't the case here.
-
Wales 14 - 10 Fiji
HalftimeSome great moments from both sides
But the cards have made it stop start

Is that so? Whatever the process, I think a YC would have been the correct call here.

The below list of mitigating factors is deliberately not exhaustive but low height has never really been taken into consideration with the new(ish) framework:
-
@MiketheSnow it looked like the loosehead got under Griffin for the penalty.
Think he'll be a good international tighthead in a few years.
He's not ready now though. -
FFS Rowlands that’s twice
Hook him now
-
Trying to be too cute
Max Llewelyn was playing fuck early on
Hasn’t had a pass since
-
Muntz is having a blinder
-
Wales 14 - 16 Fiji
49 minsThorough deserve the lead
-
Great vision and execution from Tomos Williams sets up 50-22
First pass to Llewelyn in ages and he ties in the defence creating space out wide for Murray to go over but Thomas adjudged to have knocked on
-
Welsh ‘bomb squad’ could have the Fiji scrum in trouble
