Reason?

[Mattasaurus]

Nice to see Aussie loosies pinged for that after last night's fiasco

This is from the Stuff website:

There's been a rash of late changes to both sides. Ainsley and Umaga-Jensen for the Highlanders are out, with Ma'u and van Vugt coming into the starting lineup. Hohneck and Coombes-Fabling come onto the bench, while Mikaele-Tu'u has dropped to the bench for Renton to start. For the Tahs, Holz has been ruled uot, bringing Ryan in to start and Smith in on the bench.

Who’s the left winger? He’s been completely outmuscled everytime he’s gone into contact.

Landers definitely lacking firepower.

Landers still lacking firepower

[Grooter]

Oh Dear

[Canes4life]

So dumb by Gilbert. Red all day.

[Duluth]

Gilbert is a retard

[akan004]

How dumb is Gilbert.

[Mattasaurus]

Dumb

[Paekakboyz]

Idiotic.

[Damo]

Straight red. No issue with that.

[taniwharugby]

And then he looks all staunch as he walks away...dumb arse.

[KiwiMurph]

That might be the most obvious red this year. Moronic.

[Gunner]

That was a very, very dumb decision from Gilbert.

[Mattasaurus]

Huge effort required now from the landers.
Just no need to lift at all in that situation

Yeah, I hate cards but no issue with that at all. This is what cards should be for.

[taniwharugby]

@KiwiMurph I'm still not a fan of red cards, but that's as deserving as anything so far this season

[taniwharugby]

That rolled forward didn't it?
