Here's why I'm not against either red card.

The problem is that the margin between Ofa's tackle being perfectand being a red card is so small. I'm not sure what Ofa did technically wrong. If you were his coach, how would you get him to change his technique so he pulled off a legal tackle?

Don't be so fucking lazy and get lower. You can do it at scrum time.

At scrum tim you know the other player will be at the same height.

But you KNOW that you can't tackle above the level of the shoulders. It's lazy driving up from chest height

It's impossible to not get it wrong though at some point. To play rugby, you must accept that players can miss and make a high shot.

Looks obvious when you go frame by frame, but there seems no consideration of context and appreciation of the speed of the contact

Agreed - slowmo fucks with perception but that's why there is a pretty clear framework in place which takes stuff like that into account.

SB has gone to sleep. Not surprising, given that he has had fuck all rugby.

He's normally the one off with a red card, isn't he?

[Tim]

@Machpants Damn right.

[number9]

We need to slow the game down and string some passes together. Wayward passes, we are panicking.

[nostrildamus]

TBH Ofa always looks likely to risk a card..

Instead, all of us suffer the punishment.

To that I say: boo fucking hoo. Call Ofa afterwards and tell him your mangina got hurt.

[Toddy]

Not surprised at all at the low quality of this game. It's game fu*ken 4. How do you keep getting up for the same challenge.

[KiwiMurph]

ABs had an extra man for 10 mins and lost that period

[gt12]

We are determined to live without the ball which doesn’t make any sense to me.

[KiwiMurph]

Jordan would have scored that

[akan004]

Fuck Reece is slow

Laumape is so far below test level. He's a great test Super player, but shit at this level.

Always good when @WillieTheWaiter agrees with me.on selection.

Time to give him a run

[nostrildamus]

ah Reece. No 50-50s please. You aren't that good ATM..

[Canes4life]

Savea is having some game.

[Gunner]

Get Perenara off! He just needs to pass the fucking thing, no need to pick it up and have a look around first!

Caleb would've got 2!

Yep! One of the few playing well.

Korobete is the better winger

[Victor Meldrew]

Some really dumb passing out of the tackle by the ABs.
