6N Ireland v England
-
I think if Keenan doesn’t gather the ball then it’s called as a rugby incident, possibly a penalty to Ireland but probably not. Once Keenan does gather the ball the whole scenario changes because the obligation is now on Steward to make a legal tackle or avoid contact, and he does neither.
Awards for concussion injuries are a massive financial threat to World Rugby and individual Unions so I wouldn’t be holding my breath waiting for a change of interpretation anytime soon.

The correct call.

Which makes a mockery of the guidelines.

Found Yellow was sufficient. Keenan was bent at waist, which for me ought to have counted for something.
10-9 at 61 suggests we were denied a humdinger of an ending.

Haven't seen decision, but press cites existence of mitigating factors.

Well well well. What have we here.
Grand slam is already in the cupboard though isn’t it. These things matter and they need to start getting them right at the time of the incident.

SHAUN EDWARDS: Freddie Steward's red card was an injustice
Freddie Steward's red card on Saturday - which was rescinded on Wednesday - was an injustice. It was an injustice to himself and also to the England fans who had paid good money for their tickets.
Defence coach extraordinaire Shaun Edwards believes it wasn’t even a penalty.

Whilst you’re right about the GS, we’re were hanging on by the skin of our teeth and coming up in second place in virtually every aspect of the game. Irish nerves early on kept us in the game.

Regardless of the rights and wrongs of this particular incident, he’s hit it right on the nail about refs taking more responsibility. We’re increasingly seeing the TMO effectively reffing the game and pushing the ref down a particular path.

The conversations amongst the ref's AR's and TMO are a disgrace. The pregnant pauses, the "let me show you another angle" instead of saying " no Jaco X or Y happened". Arse covering and self preservation society members the lot of em..
I very rarely see an honest climbdown or change of mind between ref and TMO.
The system is shite.

I'd happily take the decision on Red Cards away from the Ref and let the TMO decide while a yellow is running. Would stop the farce we've seen with Steward, speed up the game and reduce bad decisions.

That's because they are very aware their conversation is being broadcast. I have said it before, the conversation between the TMO, refs and assistants needs to be private.

It's up there with the Benjamin Fall red card against BB that got overturned. WR are not providing any sort of useful guidance to drive consistent decisionmaking. It's a damn lottery, it's wrong, it sucks, and it's throwing refs under the bus.
Personally, I think there has to be responsibility for carriers to stay high - dropping into contact must reduce the onus on the tackler; not completely, but has to count for something.
Bloody full game reds being dished out like candy as well. IF you are seroius about them, stay with 20 min reds assessed by TMO off the field. Super leading the way with sensible laws at last.

Further to my rant, if players can't agree, refs can't agree with judiciaries, punters on here can't agree, commentators can't agree on what is a 'play on' or 'red card', it tells you the decision making framework is completely borked. Someone made the point above and it's a good one - the arguments should be penalty/YC, or YC/RC, but not 'play on'/Red Card.
World Rugby can piss off, I'm really unhappy with them. Refs are not getting anything meaningful to support them, no portfolio of decisions with proper examples to help. It's all vague, meaningless corporate waffling bullshit

A game has been potentially wrecked, a Ref hung out to dry, head contact rules thrown into confusion, players being told cards are a lottery and spectators confused.
What a bloody mess.

if it's a lottery, people will roll the dice.
IF there are clear, achievable frameworks about what people need to do, wiht consistent enforcement, behaviour changes quickly. The randomness is super frustrating.

Take away the over analysis and ideas of what should have been done in Matrix style slow downs and what you have is an accident. Poor split second decisions that wouldn't have happened had there not been a munted pass.
The next point is the tools and processes available to the reffing team and how they used them. Peyper's use of the 'foul play' step to the protocol was the key. Like some posters here he decided that Steward didn't 'take care' (ie Careless, therefore foul play). Once he started down that road the only way out of a red was mitigation. The fact that Keenean was nearly doubled over and out of control should have provided that but to me Peyper made his mind up first then went through the protocol to justify rather than the other way around. Peyper's whole demeanour and body language was very defensive. He put up walls to reasonable thought and leaned on the protocols as an excuse for his decision.
