@kiwiwomble I found it interesting that Lloyd said - in relation to Ben O'Keefe saying he'd have given a red card - that the on-field decision may have been right at the time because of what the ref saw, right there, without being able to analyse it in more detail. And that then the Judiciary sets it right when they can analyse it properly.
I think that's okay, as long as they don't throw referees under the bus. I felt that's what they did with Angus Gardner after he gave Benjamin Fall that red card for tackling BB in the air and that red card was expunged. They didn't just publish the decision of the Judiciary, but also a statement from World Rugby IIRC. That statement should never have been released; that was pure NH politics.
Fair enough, my gut is I’d love it to be more simple, but I guess we’re past that and probably to much riding on it all

@arhs Yep I think a yellow and placed on report would be the best option in these unusual circumstances. I am just happy we had the 20 minute rule. Imagine if we had lost him for the entire game, I truly believe the players will be far less likely to switch off knowing they only need to hold on for 10/20 minutes as opposed to being down to 14 for 60 minutes.
Actually that covered in any case, a yellow card if not deemed correct can still be taken to judiciary for further action!
Only if it meets the red-card-threshold.

Just as I expected, the NH has woken up and crying outrage. According to the comments on the tweet below, Jordie apparently got off without a suspension because he's an All Black. I've seen more comments like that, also in French.
I can kind of see that point of view though, it's not clear from the Hastings one that he was acting accidentally or intentionally in raising his foot (about 48 seconds in), so for this red card to put aside and that to get three weeks makes you question the process:
-
I hope journalists notice there are different people on different panels and it might not actually because someone is an All Black...
-
@nostrildamus According to the comments on social media, it's DEFINITELY because he's an All Black!

Well it should be.

It might be bias, but I'm happy there's significant difference between those two. The problem is PR dwellers, redditors and twitterers don't.
Malcolm looks like he inadvertently caught a rugby ball trying to kick someone in the head.

Before I clicked on that I knew with absolute certainty there'd be "experts" telling Anthony he's wrong. Experts who have never left the earth's surface under their own steam.

Last time I checked, no Aussies have gone into orbit yet..... 🚀 😅

@nzzp plus you are taught when jumping for a high ball to bring your knee up like that, just the extension of the leg is the problem.
Anyhow...
Just to compare Rieko's speed vs NFL.
Now Rieko didn't have the ball in his hand - but still.
38.5km/h = 23.92 miles per hour

@kiwimurph And Rieko has to do other things as well!

Not sure I believe he’s as quick as them. Lots of running backs are guys that only just missed out on the 100 metres.
Get a load of how “badly” this guy did.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf put his speed to the test Sunday, running the 100-meter dash against Olympic hopefuls at a pro track meet.

@mn5 100m is on a track. I can quite easily see how someone slower on a track in sprinting mode could be faster on a field in contact sport mode.
Oh for sure, getting used to running in sprigs etc. It’s not THE most ideal comparison I just remember a show on ESPN going on about the freakish sprint times of NFL wide receivers. I’d just imagine that Reiko ( and Howlett and Rokokoko before him ) would be a tad slower.
