Can someone tell Super Rugby to make the 20 mins red cards orange cards? The amount of people in the NH who don't know Super Rugby still has proper/full game/no replacement reds is astounding. It is confusing to be fair.
Yellow -> Orange -> Red
Easy.
Also apparently the TMO can't give a full red, it has to be the ref. I think that's dumb. Anything clearly minimum yellow should just be given almost instantly. Speed the game up.
Why rugby’s new foul play system needs a red card
The new rules have failed their first big test after a sickening hit on Brumbies winger Corey Toole, begging the question of what a player has to do to be sent off.

I think Paul Cully's take on this is pretty rubbish.
It was an obvious red card given there was contact with the head with force and no mitigation but I don't see this as being close to being a straight red card with no replacement.
It was a standard red card which under Super Rugby's rules is 20 minutes until the player can be replaced.
