But only adds to the inconsistency of rulings.

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

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

That's my problem here zero consistency

The part of the body that impacted the head.

[antipodean]

Scotland need some possession.

[Billy Tell]

Japanese 9 is world class imo.

[chimoaus]

If he didn’t lead with his head it’s likely his shoulder would have connected, so Scotland lucky there.

I like the ruling here but unfortunately you are right , it’s confusing

Did they perform a swinging head did they?

[Rebound]

@booboo but he was also swinging the arms and make contact with the head. Based the protocol, the head clash is the mitigation. Still yellow

[mariner4life]

Really clever kick that, pull the wingers up, but it behind them

Good to know recklessly leading with your head is still allowed.

[Stargazer]

How many of these "Japanese" players play for the Sunwolves? I really wonder how the Sunwolves can be so shit and this team so good.
