    finally got around to watching this game and the YC on Goodhue.

    I can see why it was given, with the position on the field and the player he accidentally took out, the ref really had no choice, but if he had gone with a penalty only, I think there wouldn't be too much said either.

    But jeez that crowd was feral, people reckon our crowds are bad with booing!

    The bolded bit is my point. Not sure how that becomes a YC.

    @booboo same way accidental head highs get one?

    Oh, as to that obstruction over ruling a dangerous tackle, that was a joke!

    Ref quantified it by saying both are foul play, but one in dangerous as well (even if a bit soft anyway)

    @taniwharugby whilst completely ignoring the late shoulder charge on Lima ...

    My point abut "accidentally" is it is not illegal to jostle for position while running in open play. Falling over is not illegal. Playing the opposing player with your arm(s) is, even if just to steady yourself: that was penalisable. He was YCed for as a result of falling over. I disagreed with that and still do.

    As opposed to Pat T who I was surprised didn't get carded (refer other thread).

    See ... I'm not completely biased 🙂

    It wasn't a 50/50 shoulder to shoulder jostle for position though. Goodhue was in by far the worst spot using his arms.

    Watching the brief highlights on Rugby Nation of game v France XV. Jesus H Christ, where the ref let TKB take quick taps from scrum penalties ...... on 2 occasions, 1 resulting in a try.

    Slack officiating.

    Also. If we had the ref from v Scotland on Saturday for this game would have had 2 tries wiped out for forward passes.

    @taniwharugby Is there a point to the article? Cully has gone to the trouble of pointing out it's a collision sport and our brains rattle around inside our head. Well done Paul. Astonishing input.

    What's his suggestion? Make it touch football with lineouts? His editor should has asked him; wtf is this?

    I guess the real question is; do we get more head trauma from sporting collisions, or reading the daily tripe served up on stuff.co.nz?
