Did anyone see Leinster dragons in the urc. |
|
76 min dragons 7 down on the Leinster try line and there�s a |
|
shoulder to head by Leinster 7(who�s already had a yellow). Tmo |
|
calls ref to review and somehow ref says no foul play. |
|
Assistant looked gobsmacked when he said it but then started |
|
agreeing with him. |
|
A different ref calls that as a red card |

Nigel Owens has slated the system in an article just published. |
|
He feels that TMO gets too involved and should only get involved |
|
in goal line decisions and acts of foul play. The bunker review |
|
system isn't working, decisions are inconsistent with too many |
|
possible outcomes for head contact. Penalty only, yellow card, |
|
20 minute red card, permanent exclusion. |
|
His main targets are players and coaches. Tackle techniques are |
|
poor and must be improved. Introduce 6 match bans, get the |
|
message home. |
|
What I liked in the Sale game last night was when Woodthorpe |
|
issue a yellow to Tom Curry for a hit (shoulder charge) |
|
masquerading as a tackle. One arm was raised for a wrap but the |
|
other was down across his chest and it was that side / shoulder |
|
which hit the Exeter player. |
|
Rugby has some problems to resolve. |

I�m not a great rugby follower but I do know that a shoulder to |
|
head is an immediate red card. |
|
I thought the TMO review system was far superior to VAR is in |
|
soccer�. Clearly they have erroneous goofs too in rugger. |
