Rebels vs Waratahs

@antipodean therefore the only logical outcome is to have the Waratahs win 13-5 in a dour grind fest that sets the game back 10 years

anyone have any comments on the Curtis Rona "tackle" - was surprised he didn't at least get a yellow.
I think the only thing that saved him was the person he was racing across to cover tackle stepped back inside into him. Had he been given a YC, I see no reason why it shouldn't have been a PT as well.

Yikes, lucky they don't have the new guidelines in place - that's a 'tucked' arm shoulder charge, high impact, with indirect contact to the head (it's head to head though). Would be at least a YC under the new guidelines and actually should have been a yellow anyway.

possibly, always looked like he was going to tackle high no matter what even if Koroibete had not changed direction, at no stage did he look like he had his arms ready to make a clean tackle which would have put Koribete into touch anyway. Couldn't believe ref was just going to award scrum for knock on.

As all above have stated, a joke of a (non) decision.
YC and PT IMHO
