SR T-T FINAL: Blues v Highlanders

[Toddy]

@gt12 I think because DMac had no mitigating circumstances. Even 50/50 ones. It was a shoulder charge to the head of an upright player without the ball.

Great kick Hunt

[Bones]

Fuck how fucking dumb is Marshall. They just had a scrum you dick.

[Kruse]

Jesus, Marshall continues to impress.
Lineout... “who's gonna throw this? Back in the day, the scrum half...”
... they just had a scrum, you fucking muppet. There's clearly a replacement prostitute on already.

[gt12]

@toddy

I think mitigating circumstances are in the eye of the beholder.

[Yeetyaah]

Easy red. Bye Heem.

[KiwiMurph]

Heem you idiot

[Nevorian]

Yep could be red

[Yeetyaah]

Actually maybe not.

[gt12]

If that’s a red then rugby is fucked.

[antipodean]

They'll say yellow because two players have collided.

[Nevorian]

No your right

[KiwiMurph]

Lucky Blues

[Yeetyaah]

At least a yellow. Penalty only is a bit soft.

Or they'll mitigate it down from a red to just a penalty

They are. I'm astonished tbh but well done Pickerill.

Still neither decision is applying the foul play principles correctly.

[Gunner]

I’m behind the play, but I’m unsure how Dixon’s tackle is only yellow.

No malice he says, but most red cards we see these days have no malice, so it’s irrelevant.

[No Quarter]

That was clumsy and careless, should have been yellow. The comms are idiots.

Just wait until you see a red mitigated to a penalty 😬

Not sure why Christie kept kicking with the Blues up a man at the time.
