This passive AB attack is really shit
Matches our passive ruck

@NTA Yes, but protecting people’s brains and preserving the spectacle are not incompatible concepts
But that presumes that red cards act as a deterrent to high tackles. If that was true, we should now see less high tackles and less red cards. Correct?
-
The support play is a little lacking.

You're assuming players use their brain all the time

Our forwards were better when Akira was on. Perhaps SB is a bit tired and SW should have had an HIA

Here's why I'm not against either red card.
The problem is that the margin between Ofa's tackle being perfectand being a red card is so small. I'm not sure what Ofa did technically wrong. If you were his coach, how would you get him to change his technique so he pulled off a legal tackle?
Don't be so fucking lazy and get lower. You can do it at scrum time.
At scrum tim you know the other player will be at the same height.
But you KNOW that you can't tackle above the level of the shoulders. It's lazy driving up from chest height
It's impossible to not get it wrong though at some point. To play rugby, you must accept that players can miss and make a high shot.

It looks like 27(?) men are waiting for something to happen..

Looks obvious when you go frame by frame, but there seems no consideration of context and appreciation of the speed of the contact
