@chimoaus i am almost at the stage where i dont give a toss about this level of the game or the international game ..i have friends who were hardcore lovers of the game , one is a former all black was coaching at club level only 4 seasons ago ..has not watched a game in a whole year ,.got other interests ..biggest fear the game should have is the next lot of people who have an actual passion for the game

Sure you can complain about some of the refs calls but the two cards are absolutely legitimate. These professional players need to be better than that.
I do wonder what coaches are doing. Everyone knows how it is being reffed. Don't lift players legs, don't tackle higher than nipples, or you risk getting carded. Lifting the legs is especially stupid.
Because you can't just coach instincts, or at least it is bloody difficult to do so. If you watched a game from 2000, there would be way more incidents we would now consider yellow/red cards. So there has been an impact, but standards have got higher and the players cannot adequately comply.
Lifting the legs is not instincts and should be coachable. Take your point about the high shots though, some are very hard to avoid especially when players go low into contact.

And the game is faster than ever. It's like the authorities have forgotten it is a high speed contact sport

After so many dodgy calls the Canes should kick on from here hopefully.

It wasn't really a deliberate lift. It was momentum, plus there being two players in the tackle. I understand the player could have done better and has a responsibility there, but still a tough one.

I'm not confident with this team.

If we didn’t have Ardie then I wouldn’t be, but when he’s angry the Canes go up a few notches.

@chimoaus SANZAAR can trial new/different rules, but only with permission from WR.
Well let's hope they try something because the current system is broken. At this rate the world cup will be decided by which team can keep 15 on the field.
