The game has now officially lost the plot. That decision simply cannot be defended and as a player coach and spectator of 50 years it truly saddens me to see this once great game decend to this level.
Seemed like a very League play from Timu like he was jumping into a guy on the ground to ensure he was held. I also thought it was definitely a Red. Both Fa’auli and Timu seemed to have left their brains in the change room, extremely dumb play.Who was the TMO? He was the one who called the Red card (heard it on refs ears), and how the hell Timu wasn't red carded is beyond belief!! And I always sit with a lot of long time Red supporters and they all thought it was a Red!!
I actually thought Timu's was as bad as Fa'auli in the Chiefs game. I think Timu must now go on the list of dirty players?
had to be Skeen.
"Ben, I would like to draw your attention to some possible physical contact on the rugby field, recommended sanction is red card followed by immediate deportation followed by post-match judicial committee of enquiry followed by sound tongue-lashing followed by stern dressing down."
"That's a bit over the top isn't it?"
"I agree. We'll stick with just the red card then."
Timu cited, which is fair enough.
Anyone got a video of the incident?
It's curious that the various law changes didn't seem to have the predicted impact on European games, but down here shit is falling apart. Are we inherently ill disciplined?
