    @Bones said in WRWC Final - NZ Vs England:

    @MiketheSnow nil point! England reserve came on and gave away 2 intercept tries, while also dropping the ball over the line - thrice.

    In the imaginary game I watched anyway.

    Thatโ€™s novel having a reserve for a red card

    That could be an interesting/shit idea. Have a red card bench of separate players that are nominated to come on after the 20 minutes for a player who's been red carded in a position they are nominated for.

    Your bench players also have to be nominated for a position and can't be used if the red card sub also covers that position.

    I'm a bit confused on that idea. Might be too early in the morning.

    One other idea to throw into the mix is to increase the deterrent of a 20 minute RC by not allowing tactical subbing around it. If a prop goes off then any subs made to cover the situation are permanent. eg if you take a flanker off for numbers then that flanker can't return. In other words you have an impact on the use of the bench as well.
    To be honest though, it is getting rare to see RCs that are wildly reckless. Most are timing accidents rather than decisions.

    I had forgotten that the English players were to get ยฃ15,000 bonus if they won the RWC. For context, that is roughly half of the annual salary for their highest paid players.

    @Crucial yeah I really struggle with the protect the head at all costs mentality with Cards, but on the other side, they have just penalised someone, YC'd them or RC'd them for a head contect, yet the number of times the player on the receiving end of the contact doesnt go off for an HIA...if an incident is deemed to be enough to penalise a team for a head contact then it is surely enough to do an HIA straight away rather than 5 mins later

    @Crucial so you name your 23, but then you also have another "bench" of red card replacements. RC replacements and your normal bench are nominated for certain positions.

    If you have to use an RC replacement (for a red card after 20 mins) then you can't use a normal bench player who is nominated to cover a position the RC replacement covers.

    Essentially, red carded player is replaced by ideally a 3rd/4th in line player and the 2nd in line player (on the bench) can go have a shower with the red carded player.

    Which could also be televised.

    Just keep the red card for thuggery (eye gouging and other grub acts) and some other colour (fuckit, Blue card) for head contact in tackles/rucks etc. Specific card for the accidental head contact that they want to reduce. Have that at 20mins, and if the players technique doesn't improve bump it up to 30mins the next year.

    Leaves the onus on the coaches and players to solve the issue, doesn't ruin the game for the fans, has actions to protect the players and address the hilarious NH opinion that 20min red cards will have players running around like the love child of Richard Loe and Troy Flavell.

    @taniwharugby I reckon 27/28 would cover it.

    Prop/hooker
    Other forward
    Two backs

    Or maybe one prop, one hooker and the rest.

    Have seen Frankie and her parents through the London based RWC watch parties etc

    Seems like a good kid and I think here Dad is loving the journey with her on it too.

    "There's a men's English team somewhere, that just watched the women's rugby cup final and has just decided they're sick of Eddie, stuff pre-match training, and aren't going to cheat in the game next weekend because the All Blacks still have that aura."
