I disagree with the "force" bit and with the red. Fortunately, it's only for 20 minutes.
It was clumsy, but hardly cynical.20 mins?

@mikethesnow Isn't that the law trial? 20-minute red cards, then a replacement player coming on?

It was clumsy, but hardly cynical.Problem is geographic consistency. That's a red just about every time in the NH, but not in the south. Whatever the decision it's going to cause angst and cries of inconsistency.
Great shame for the match though.

That’s fucking horseshit quite frankly
There was zero need for him to hit Williams for the second time.
He did
He hit the head with force to a player who couldn’t defend himself
And paid the price
Deservedly
If you think that action is acceptable and defensible then the SH has problems now and will be fielding lawsuits down the line which will cripple their unions.

@mikethesnow Ah yes, you're right. The NH nations didn't want it. That's why it was only used in the Rugby Championship.
That's a pity. Game ruined.
-
@mikethesnow I disagree it was with force. It was stupid from the Fijian player, no doubt, and he deserved a card, but if there was force, why didn't the Welsh player go off for a HIA?
