From a kick? Or is kick off different?

Has to be open play

Maul from a kick off is use it or lose it.

Exception to the exception.

Thanks @Damo . Wondered if that was the case.

[Bones]

Vicious by Gray, disgusting. Two reds.

[antipodean]

Card coming up

[Kirwan]

Scotland forwards walking.

[chimoaus]

Did they get Bachop to mentor the halfback, fuck he gets that ball out quick, makes A Smith look turtle like.

[kiwiinmelb]

A card will hurt Scotland the way japan move the ball

[booboo]

Not even penalty for me

[antipodean]

Just a yellow. Head clash with Japanese hooker falling.

[Bones]

Fucken brilliant by bok.

[Billy Tell]

Please no red card

[Rebound]

So what's the difference between this tackle and the 2 cards against the ABs

[African Monkey]

@booboo It shouldn't be. Good call from the much maligned Ben O'Keeffe.

[antipodean]

Finally some common sense. Well done Ben.

But only adds to the inconsistency of rulings.

[chimoaus]

So there is the answer to avoid red cards, tackle with your head.

[Stargazer]

Insane Horie isn't taken off for a HIA.

Both should’ve been.

[Victor Meldrew]

Think the Ref got it right but in other games that would have been a RC or YC.

Real uncertainty around the tackle area and that's really the issue which needs to be sorted
