    Watching Fox Sports' Kick & Chase.

    Complete whinge fest about how Folau has been hard done by.

    IMO one match is lenient.

    Well that made things completely clear then didn't it.

    Run into an opponents legs by not jumping - red card on the ground, rescinded off the ground because the player was brushed 10 yards out.
    Jump for the ball and hit another player who was lifted by his fellow team mate creating an obvious fulcrum point - yellow on the ground, upgraded to red after and banned.

    Clear as mud. Good work world rugby. πŸ‘πŸ» πŸ‘πŸ» πŸ‘πŸ» πŸ‘πŸ» πŸ‘πŸ» πŸ‘πŸ» πŸ‘πŸ» πŸ‘πŸ» πŸ‘πŸ»

    Trouble being the Fall no-decision. Maybe Izzy's legal should have just quoted that.

    Yep. ALB was in the same hemisphere as me which made me unbalanced.

    You nearly had it right. The yellow card incident was not up for consideration.

    It was a separate incident that the citing was for. And it wasn’t for β€œhitting” the other player, it was for grabbing the other player and unbalancing him.

    My outragometer is wobbling.

    But, mitigation? Look at that terrible lift, imagine ALB doing that to Beauden.

    OUTRAGE!

    I am being semi-serious. The reason jumpers flip and land in their heads is because their legs get taken out from under them.

    I don't know how anyone can seriously argue that Folau didn't take the irish jumper in the air in that situation. Look at his arm wrapped around the guys chest. It is nowhere near the ball which he is trying to catch with his other hand.
    As far as the lift goes. If you remove the contact from Folau he comes down fine. Its like blaming BB for jumping too high against france.

    @derm-mccrum wow your right - I just assumed it was same incident. Apologies.

    So instead he got cited for an aerial challenge neither the ref or TMO had an issue with?

    An aerial challenge??? I can get a punch or neck roll or something, but an aerial challenge?

    This is horse shit.

    Eh no sorry, but he didn’t get cited for an aerial challenge either. Maybe have a look at the incident, (2nd of the three), read what the citing was for, and the result of citing panel review.

    He took the Irish jumper in the air, without a doubt. Clear penalty. The real question IMO should be if it deserves further sanction.

    The problem World Rugby have created is the current Laws judge situations by outcome and not action. It could be the lightest feather touch on a jumper, but if he lands on his head you are off. If you charge blindly into his legs and he flips completely and lands on his feet it's just a penalty.

    That, to me, is completely ridiculous.

    I'm not outraged about Folau, but I think the judgement is a tad harsh. Clearly the actions of a third party (Stander) had an influence on the outcome, as the actions of ALB had an impact on the Fall/Barrett situation.

    His actions deserved a penalty, maybe even a yellow. But I think the mitigating factors should have prevented a red card or suspension, as it clearly wasn't reckless or careless.

    Regardless of this situation, the guidelines around aerial challenges are an absolute mess and need to be fixed ASAP. I'd suggest a move to base decisions around intent and action rather than outcome, and an acceptance that sometimes fair challenges will result in dangerous situations.

    Got a link?

    Every article I’ve read since you corrects me said it was about a challenge on P O’M in the air, as do gifs, links, pics from earlier in the thread.

    So I’m lost now with what you are talking about.

    I suspect he's trying to say that it's about the use of the arms in the air? Or, I'm lost too.

    So, IOW, what you are talking about.

    Personally, I think that it's a dangerous way to use him, because (from memory) he put hands on the other jumping player two of the three times. What I don't get is why this is worth a yellow, but the same penalty at a contested line out is only a penalty - or has that also been added to this 'danger in the air' thing?

    Maybe another way to deal with these situations (and other dangerous play) is to make is completely judged on effect. If your action(s) is judged on field to be the cause of an injury that takes another player out of the game, you are also out of the game (able to be replaced) and will face judiciary for further punishment based on how reckless it was.
    If you do the same action twice but don’t cause injury that’s a warning first, then a yellow.
    What we have at the moment is the strange situation where you can injure someone out of the game but go off for 10 minutes only.

    That's an odd way to approach it. Injury is completely random - a bloke can fall square on his head and get up as if nothing had happened, but someone else could fall on their feet and roll an ankle.

    Under your system, the first scenario (the far more dangerous one) has no sanction, while the second bloke is off the field?

    Correct - yes I am. Both competed on the challenge for the ball - . No problem there.

    Grabbing onto POM with both hands to steady himself on way down that caused POM to tip backwards and fall - problem.
