Yep, knocked out for his poor technique

[African Monkey]

Wtf Mabey that was shoulder!

[Yeetyaah]

What the fuck. Where's the head contact?

[gt12]

I’m not completely sure that was a YC from the replay

[canefan]

What a crazy rule. He won't know he's been sent to the bin

[mariner4life]

These jerseys suck

That's a horrible call.

[Bones]

Shoulder on head, pretty clear

[African Monkey]

OK, if that's the rule, then sure.

[Tim]

@African-Monkey Yeah, looked like contact was directly with the shoulder. Terrible technique.

[Steven Harris]

@African-Monkey i think back to the MP v Highlanders game where nothing was given against Cam Miller despite a poor tackle technique ..its roll of the dice officiating

[SouthernMann]

Surely a red card

Consistency clearly not a rugby word

Didn't wanna bring it up haha but yes, the refs seem to make it up as it goes along.

[Duluth]

I thought there was brief head to head contact before the shoulder

[canefan]

There are rules, the refs seem to decide whether they follow them or not.

[Machpants]

can someone do the score since we can't watch

[Mattasaurus]

Its always strange when the player who gets knocked out gets the YC too

[taniwharugby]

I get the ref can only.rule it how he sees it, but that's where the TMO is supposed to clear things up...

HGH 3-5 HUR
