that extra inch makes all the difference...
That's why she married me...both inches matter.
I actually haven't seen too many where the hooker has both feet inside the chalk without some part of a foot touching it recently. AR's should be all over that, not straights and off side. Not that difficult from the sideline.

Four weeks for Swinton
SANZAAR confirm Swinton ban following controversial red card against All Blacks
The flanker was red-carded by referee Nic Berry 34 minutes into his Test debut during the fourth and final Bledisloe Test in Brisbane.

It does seem like a holiday job.

@Kiwiwomble maybe Gardner has colour blindness to pink?

They're all the same. Can't see a white seven on black I've been told.
Should've gone to spec savers.

You should be a test rugby ref!

@Machpants Seems reasonable. I don't know what's controversial about it. He managed to shoulder charge a lock on the chin.
-
@antipodean it is a big chin.
But yeah - four week is about right.
No idea why we're doing this on the Bledisloe 3 thread. Maybe he hit him into last week?

Funny article...
The fact that he singles out Cully, JK, Kearns and Horan, yet barely Marshalls comment is more a passing comment
And he called JK and Cully decent blokes but not Kearns and Horan. Probably a stupid question but if they were such serious head contacts shouldn’t have the players hit been sent for HIAs?

Whitelock certainly should have been, that was significant contact
-
Hmm I moved the posts about Swinton's four weeks ban here but they never turned up
No idea why

And lateral contact as well - tends to make the potential for concussion worse.

It was as blatant as it gets on replay
I've had a thought about this.
Were we on a warning? Or were they so hot on attack that this was a professional foul that prevented a possible try?
Answers: I don't know and no.
Regardless of whether the TMO should have got involved (he shouldn't have) it was not a YC offence. (Unless we were on a warning. )
Dumb as a bag of hammers. But not a YC.
