Refereeing decisions

[Rob42]

What's the go on dragging players into touch who are tackled already? It was rightly penalised on the weekend in the 6N but I swear it's let go so often. It seems like it's just down to the ref's mood.

Do you mean the situation where Scotland were penalised after driving the French player into touch? I thought that was harsh - the ref called "tackle" a split-second before the French player went into touch, I don't think the tacklers could have been expected to stop quickly enough after that call.

Yeah that one, I've seen it called the other way more often than not.

Northern refs are experts at preventing a game of rugby from breaking out.

Surely that Murray suspension for three weeks is a bit overboard is it not?

Sorry, must have missed this? Who and what did they get canned for?

"The Super Rugby Pacific Foul Play Review Committee (FPRC) has found Motikiai Murray (Fijian Drua) guilty of committing a dangerous tackle in contravention of Law 9.13."

I was watching it live and it didn't look bad, they were both diving, maybe a yellow at best

Oh right,

Nah that's consistent with pretty much every other head contact suspension we've seen over the last 2-3 years.

World Rugby determines that the entry point is 6 weeks, most of the time mitigated by 50% due to the players good record, and the the optional extra week discount (so 2 weeks total suspension rather than 6) when they do tackle school.

I also don't see it as Goddard diving at all. He was running upright and Murray grabbed him from behind and swung his arm at his head. Honestly - probably one of the worst head contact incidents we've seen in SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) this season.

It was upgraded to a red at the game (might have happened after the final whistle though, given how close it was to the end).

I think he was probably pretty lucky to come in at the 6 week entry point to be honest, even though it's become the default.

Yeah, agreed.............
