Wallabies v France 3

[Tordah]

Ref could have easily gone with a penalty only and I don't think it would have been controversial.

I don’t think it should be but I’m surprised how many are surprised, there’s a whole thread where it explains contact to the head starts as red

Yes, you can argue whether there's enough mitigation to go down from red to yellow, but if first contact is with the head, it always starts at red.

Also, a while ago, I've seen a medical explanation why a player can have a slightly delayed reaction to head contact. So the French player may not have been acting there. It may have been a delayed response. I wish I could remember where I've read it ...

I do think it should be an automatic HIA though, we’re saying it’s unsafe…so make sure

@kev bullshit, the French player dropped his head.

Everyone needs to adjust technique. Was always high. Concussions kill. Contact sports have to take this stuff seriously.

It was the way he held his nose

Is this under the 20 minute red, or?

Nope. NH teams voted it down.

French nine there, elbow intimate neck, red card

Technically it should be at least yellow. But who can expect rules to implemented consistently

Aussies.

@nta don’t underestimate France finding a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Keep watching mate.

I'm more concerned with my blood pressure, watching BOK fuck up for another 70 minutes

[Kiwiwomble]

I don’t see this as very different to the hit on dmac…that everyone was calling to be a card

To be clear that should have been under the rules as this was

Yep it’s Suncorp

Stagnant Aussie backline. Players receiving the ball flat footed.

[Kirwan]

Great response!

@canes4life Marika still could’ve gone around the legs

And then kill his own head?

[Kirwan]

Halfback almost injured himself in the dive!

It makes me feel dirty that I want the Wallabies to do well now after the card

[Chris]

Nice try

[Tim]

Great try.

[ACT Crusader]

France defensive line looked like they were down to 14 men with massive holes in it.

Stop it

On the French 9 scoring over McDermott: there was nothing wrong with that because his arm started next to his body, then raised.

If he goes in forearm arm out, penalty.
