Oh dear, and he is, presumably, paid to comment on the game!

Perhaps the outrage and indignation about this RC may encourage NH teams to advocate for the 20 min RC.
That aside, as a defender you place yourself in postitions where you need to make good decisions. Steward didn't and he owes the person he's about to shoulder charge better execution.
I see no difference between this and SBW's RC.

I know everyone hates you when you are winning but they are becoming a thoroughly un-likeable bunch.
Becoming? Their soccer theatrics have been an issue for a long time now. I fervently hope that it all comes to bite them in the arse at the worst possible time. Preferably a quarter final.

I hate their sort of theatrical BS as much as I hate itoje's woopin' and hollerin'. One of the least likable teams I've come across.

Test rugby is less and less a game of constant contest
100% this. Never thought I stop enjoying watching Rugby.

Tries to avoid hitting him, hands down, turning away.
What's better, opening his body up and carrying on with the tackle, or even at least starting to drop - or turning your body and tucking the arm so that your nice, soft elbow/shoulder is pointed at the opposition player? I can't think of much worse he could have done.
I reckon I know which Keenan's face would have preferred.
Players need to stop having a first instinct to throw out the shoulder charge if they get caught out and can't control the collision.

The Irish team have taken holding their heads and staying down to get stuff looked at to a new level.
Take a look at Penaud's effort from yesterday. Used to like him, but yesterday's theatrics made Sevu Reece look like a pretender.

Kaino won two world cups and he is face palming the decision.
Did he actually clarify that? The tweet you posted was him saying red card, with a face palm, wasn't it?
How do you know he's not facepalming at Steward's act?

it was "mind blown" emoji followed by "face palm" emoji.

Mind blown or brain explosion?
What an age we live in.

Hopefully Kaino hit Google before he hit twitter.

“About to shoulder charge..” 😂
I’ve got no issue with the red card, letter of the law and all that, but that level of hyperbole is laughable and does nothing in trying to make sense of where we are and where we’re going in this contentious issue.

The black and white-ness with which it is being discussed from some quarters is contrarian, disingenuous or I suspect downright rancid bait.

You might want to just take some time for reflection eh, that's tasty rich from the guy who agrees Steward pulled out.
I'd suggest if that's your pull out game, you might wanna check for unknown offspring.

Do you live in a slow motion world? Or real time.
It looks terrible in slow motion.
Steward is not trying to ensure an arm to head contact. He’s coming up to defend, legally. The pass is an abortion. Steward slows and turns away as soon as he sees this. Mind off, attack over scrum white. Done.
But Keenan gets low to get the ball, and on his way up smashes his face into the turning away Steward and concusses himself. I’m not surprised it happened. When you go low and use acceleration to go back up your head is properly moving. Done this many times.
It’s not Stewards fault, not at all.
As I said initially, I care naught about bullshit rules. Nothing that happened was worthy of a game changing red card.

Feel free to use whatever term you want to describe the motion of turning your body away and leading with an arm pinned to your side.
