6N Ireland v England

@Steve said in 6N Ireland v England:
The Irish team have taken holding their heads and staying down to get stuff looked at to a new level.
Take a look at Penaud's effort from yesterday. Used to like him, but yesterday's theatrics made Sevu Reece look like a pretender.

Kaino won two world cups and he is face palming the decision.
Did he actually clarify that? The tweet you posted was him saying red card, with a face palm, wasn't it?
How do you know he's not facepalming at Steward's act?

Mind blown or brain explosion?
What an age we live in.

Hopefully Kaino hit Google before he hit twitter.

Perhaps the outrage and indignation about this RC may encourage NH teams to advocate for the 20 min RC.
That aside, as a defender you place yourself in postitions where you need to make good decisions. Steward didn't and he owes the person he's about to shoulder charge better execution.
I see no difference between this and SBW's RC.
“About to shoulder charge..” 😂
I’ve got no issue with the red card, letter of the law and all that, but that level of hyperbole is laughable and does nothing in trying to make sense of where we are and where we’re going in this contentious issue.

The black and white-ness with which it is being discussed from some quarters is contrarian, disingenuous or I suspect downright rancid bait.

You might want to just take some time for reflection eh, that's tasty rich from the guy who agrees Steward pulled out.
I'd suggest if that's your pull out game, you might wanna check for unknown offspring.

Tries to avoid hitting him, hands down, turning away.
What's better, opening his body up and carrying on with the tackle, or even at least starting to drop - or turning your body and tucking the arm so that your nice, soft elbow/shoulder is pointed at the opposition player? I can't think of much worse he could have done.
I reckon I know which Keenan's face would have preferred.
Players need to stop having a first instinct to throw out the shoulder charge if they get caught out and can't control the collision.
Do you live in a slow motion world? Or real time.
It looks terrible in slow motion.
Steward is not trying to ensure an arm to head contact. He’s coming up to defend, legally. The pass is an abortion. Steward slows and turns away as soon as he sees this. Mind off, attack over scrum white. Done.
But Keenan gets low to get the ball, and on his way up smashes his face into the turning away Steward and concusses himself. I’m not surprised it happened. When you go low and use acceleration to go back up your head is properly moving. Done this many times.
It’s not Stewards fault, not at all.
As I said initially, I care naught about bullshit rules. Nothing that happened was worthy of a game changing red card.

Feel free to use whatever term you want to describe the motion of turning your body away and leading with an arm pinned to your side.

Here’s a video of incident that’s being discussed
Was Jaco’s arm out for a forward pass, or lost possession (knock on) after contact?

Knock on. You see him briefly wave his left arm forward to indicate a knock on advantage.
You've got to feel for Steward. That was harsh in my opinion.

Superb post. Wish I could upvote it twice.

So the contact from Steward created the knock on
So Keenan was in possession when he was hit by Steward
So Steward should have made a tackle
He didn’t, and in the process of turning away from the ball carrier his elbow made contact with the ball carrier’s head
Can’t see why anyone is aggrieved and/or unsure why he got a red
-
oh i know why he got a red, the process was followed perfectly. The refs couldn't have done any better.
I just hate the way all the replays took the 2 seconds before the final contact away. That ball is in dispute because of a forward pass and Steward was going for the ball, he's second to it by a split second, and a reflex action saw him sent off.
He wasn't thinking about a tackle, he was thinking "get the ball" so he's not in a position to make a "legal tackle"
Under the current thinking he was fucked no matter what he did because he was always going to be higher than Keenan and was always going to make contact with the head.It's a nailed on red card in 2023. Doesn't mean i have to like the way these things are looked at.

I think you guys are talking about different knock ons. One pre contact with Steward and one after.
Mack Hansen initially drops the ball forward like a drunk with a tray of pints. It’s not marginal . He has spilled forward at 11 o clock from his own body .
Keenan still tried to play it for some reason , you could argue he had over ran the pass if it was lateral or backwards , but Keenan finds himself playing it anyway. He clatters into Steward who is trying to evade, pull out or brace for the impending impact.
Keenan cops one in the Chevy Chase and then knocks the ball on for the second time in the play.

Jaco didn’t signal a knock on nor a forward pass from Hansen, so the play is still live
Keenan gathers, is in possession, and then gets clattered and loses possession
That’s when Jaco indicated advantage England
