And one of the ways to mitigate the impact of inconsistency is through 20 minute Reds.
If they're going to address this appalling inconsistency, then they should adopt a better reporting system for post match review and punishment, and reserve red cards to their historical significance of filth.
I'd be fucking furious to have the level of opprobrium directed at me as a result of losing a home series because of the ridiculous inconsistency in the application of laws from people that are supposed to be professionals. I can't think of another endeavour where that level of incompetence is accepted, let alone rewarded.

You're right, but you're wrong. Barnes gets it right, we win that game. But that papers over the cracks that we can't win 15 v 15. Still a soul destroying way to lose your job (probably), and highlights not only our quality issues, but the incredible inconsistency and huge consequences of modern Rugby.
The game's farked.

@Crucial I know it is only the words used, but I hate those accidental collisions being described as 'foul play'
@stodders shock of a headline, Ireland beaten us 3 out of last 4, and they are better than us, colour me surprised
Yep, grabbing guys nuts, stamping and eye gouging is āfoul playāā¦ not accidental collisionsā¦ā¦Iām not even sure Iād describe punching as foul play in some circumstances.

So they select Karl T and give him 10 minutes. What was the point behind that selection?????
they were worried about degroots fitness...surely if the spot in the squad did little other than train....then that would have been good for Degroot!

You're better than this mate. I know you've read most of the thread. We aren't crying foul about the Irish player personally, and that it cost us the game. We just want consistency.
Read the series back
People on here are absolutely calling for no censure one week, and then blood the next

Yeah I still don't get people saying Taavao was a poor little deer in the headlights but Porter had the accuracy of a sniper. I haven't watched it since the test, but I don't think I was the only one that saw Taavao change direction to make the tackle. If you're beaten, you're beaten - that doesn't mean you can be reckless.

I'd say both Ta'avao and Porter should have got a 10 minute red card. Teams down to 14 men for 10 minutes and then replaced by a different player.
As others have pointed above - that's consistency.
But, really, this highlights the foolishness of those advocating for 80 minute red cards.
Porter saw Ta'avao get red carded for the same offence the previous week. I believe he's been playing with the 80 minute red card rule all year. And yet - it appears he hasn't learned a thing.
Perhaps he plays for "those teams" that are persistently dirty?
Or maybe, the 80 minute red card rule is ridiculous in a game of dynamic collisions in which accidents will continue to regularly happen - but, in the meantime we have to repeatedly watch games turned into mismatches by brain-dead administrators.
Good on Eddie Jones for being a bastion of sense!!!

Yeah but look - at what point does it become accidental? I see a lot of people saying red cards should be reserved for dirty play - at what point does a high tackle go from accidental to oh you deliberately tried to take that guys head off?

@Bones me and you with your super ninja reflexes have had this conversation before, so no point going over that ground again.

But it was accidental.

I think accidental is a problem word
Farting then shitting yourself is accidental
Drinking 10 pints of Worthington Best Bitter followed by a curry feast then farting and shitting yourself is almost inevitable
Same goes for rugby
Poor execution, timing, and skills are better descriptors

@MiketheSnow Regardless, you should just throw the underpants in the rubbish bin.
Not throw the shit over everyone else who is enjoying themselves in the pub.
Or, they may not return.

I have absolutely no regrets about that night.

Porter cleared, so fuck who knows. Probably the rule appears to be that the darker your jersey the better your chance of spending some time on sidelines.
What an absolute unmitigated crock of fucking shit. Unbelievable.
