I have no special knowledge here - I just read the judicial reports if and when they come out. The six nations do a really great job of sharing their decisions - https://www.sixnationsrugby.com/en/discipline Foe World Rugby, "indirect contact" appears to effectively mean where did the tackler...

Do commentators get access to the discussion between refs and TMO? As far as I know, the TMO during the match, and Citing commisioners after the match, are watching on TV with access to all broadcast angles. They just make a judgement call based on what they see. The factual data etc comes...

If the ref/TMO/Judicial officer / Idiot like me are watching at home, and the words "indirect contact", "low force", "low speed' are used at all, then it's almost certainly going to start at a mid-range degree of danger, and a yellow card. He received a yellow card. That is the caution I agree...

I reckon this is the moment of impact. His arm swung in straight, and is bent through impact on the body/shoulder of Sua'ali'i. Like I said earlier - indirect contact is almost always the reason these end up being yellow, and we tend to miss it in the heat of the moment becuase the natural...

His arm is what contacted Sualli'i's shoulder first, it's what saved him from a red card!

I mean - we are literally just posting things from the Head Contact Process document. You could just read that https://passport.world.rugby/media/j5senlan/2303-update-head_contact_process_en.pdf

From the WR (World Rugby) Head Contact Process PK YC "Low danger" Indirect contact Low force Low speed No leading head / shoulder / forearm / swinging arm RC "High danger" Direct contact Lack of control High speed Dynamic Leading head / shoulder / elbow / forearm Swinging arm Reckless Intentional or an...

Absolutley agree. The part of the process I most disagree with is Judicial officers are discouraged from issuing more warnings (which are the equivalent of yellow cards) They should be done for every warranted incident for every match instead of just ignored. But agree on the comms side. If...

They will always fall back on the process. So run through it. Head contact. Yes Foul play. Yes Degree of Danger? Mid. Indirect contact (first point was arm on Sua'ali'i's shoulder). Low force (no broken jaw!) Mitigation? None That's a yellow card. I've noticed it's the indirect contact one...

If Swain gets selected he will have every Lion provoking him to their fullest ability He probably deserves a shot, but the man will be a lightning rod

:oops:That's who I meant. Anderson was next to him

What do we think happened for one of the dumbest defensive setups I think I have ever seen, Lachie Anderson Tim Ryan on the try line trying to stop Bobby V? Surely that can't have been what the defense coach drew up through the week?

Is anyone in Australian rugby getting paid overs to win Super Rugby? I wouldn't have thought so. They are paid well to play for the Wallabies. Despite what we fans may want, Super rugby is pretty much just a way to get sufficient guys playing pro rugby at a sufficient level so that a...

Reds had $3.7m revenue from matchday! and $2.2m expenditure. It does seem like there is a bunch of Super Rugby team's revenue that isn't accounted for in the AFR report Anyway, I'm probably just spinning my wheels at a poorly written article, and I need to wait until the report is published.........

Agree with all of that - what I'm saying is that won't get to a $30m shortfall, or even "largely" get there From the PWC creditors report - The Rebels were spending around $7.2m on player's salaries, with RA revenue of $5m, so they were around $2m gap too

I know this is from the article, but it doesn't make any sense. Player payments were already coming from RA (Wallaby topus), or through RA grants to Super Rugby teams which surely must have ceased going to the clubs once they "merged". The direct player payments may have risen, but there should have...

Pacific Equity Partners wouldn't have ever loaned RA $80m in the first place without Lions/RWC. That was in 2023 and really helped tide things over. RA have never really financially recovered after COVID. The interesting question is where does the revenue come from in 2028+ so we don't just...

Their creditors will be very generous with $100m coming in from the Lions. Debt will be paid off by the end of this year apparently. (Imagine the blood bath if there wasn't a Lions/RWC to bail them out)

AFR have an article up about the RA financial report which apparently has been sent to the Members, but isn't up on RA's website yet as far as I can see. AFR article about RA's financial report A $36.8 million loss appears to be the headline figure.

@schmidt it in what's the 2024 average ex the Rebels?
