@junior Eddie Jones is on £750,000 a year plus bonuses. It looks like he was on £1 million a year at one stage.
A couple of years of that would set Gats up for a very nice retirement indeed. Plus given England's player strength, they must be realistic world Cup contenders. He seemed to enjoy working with Farrell, Watson, Itoje and Daly during the 2017 Liosn tour too.

Red card AND a 3 week ban. Bloody hell.
If that's the only way to teach/encourage/enforce players to hit below the nips then so be it

Is it that much of an issue in the women's game? Don't know if you saw the footage, but from what I saw that was penalty only in the men's game. Yellow card at best. Would have thought red card was plenty of punishment.

Wasn't being gender specific, below the nips for men and women. More than enough body to tackle the ball carrier without either player getting a knock to the head (unless you have shit tackling techinque).
Shoulder/arm contact directly to the head = red all day.

See if you can fish out the footage....
You'll probably know I'm in support of what you're stating, but this is heavy handed.

I watched it in the link you posted from 10:15
Clear and obvious shoulder / arm hitting the English player's head first. No dipping or slipping so clear red all day, both sexes, all grades of rugby, amateur and professional.
Don't understand how you view this as heavy handed

@mikethesnow I'll have to watch it again, but on my initial viewing it appeared to hardly even make an impact.

I didn't really think it mattered - but it looks like it's 'low' degree of danger. I thought clear red on first look, but the framework may suggest a yellow instead. Clumsy rather than brutal.
updated Head Contact Process (not sure which is used now)

I agree that the degree of danger appears either low or medium. I would have gone for a YC myself.
I am now an ex-referee. My only role in rugby these days is on a judiciary panel.

Hats off to Samoa and the Barbarians for nailing down the details of this fixture a long way in advance. Brilliant organisation given all that's going on.

WTF is that website? It's like one of those clickbait pages you sometimes wind up on but just devoted to NH rugby.
Edit: I just read Piers Morgans best ever XV, it's actually decent.
Fuck, the click bait has worked.
