RWC 2011 SF1 - Wales v France

[AngrySeahorse]

Wtf red!?

Edit: Gobsmacked, speechless, cannot believe it. Still think the Welsh are capable of winning but man what a call.

 

[Swarley]

Holy shit, didn't think it warranted a Red. It was dangerous but there's been a whole lot worse that has gone with less punishment. Big blow for the Welsh to lose captain, fetcher and their best player in one hit.

 

[minorbird]

He did drive through with the tackle so I can see why that was a red.

 

[Slim 293]

Red? The fuck?!

 

[tigerland12]

Holy shit didn't even see the Red given. It is in the laws, fair call by the ref.

Changes the dynamic of the game now, France a massive chance.

 

[mark_s]

Coupled with Jones off, Wales are in the pooo

 

[Slim 293]

Because is a harsh red does that mean he can escape suspension if they make it through?

 

[Squeak]

Uh oh, I think Dai just lost his breakfast. Going red is a big call, but that was pretty negligent.

 

[something]

in rwc rugby, can u play in the final if u get a red in the semi?

Question of how you see it the frog was not past the horizontal in my view.
Alain roland is to Wales what Bryce Lawrence is to South Africa: but will the Welsh behave as badly?

 

[Karl]

Thanks. So if I said that the Welsh Captain being sent off means SA and Burger should feel even MORE lucky to have played with 15 - would that be the ball or the man?

#10 Parra 22m out 13 metres in PK success. Les Bleu 3 Red team with red card 3. 21:40 minutes.

 

[BRIX]

Scrum is going to be under a lot of pressure with A. Jones off. Warbuton, what were you thinking!

 

[minorbird]

Marto: "the referee has hurt this game"

No, Warburton hurt himself and his team with a foul tackle, don't attack the ref for making a tough, but fair call.

 

[thedubs]

That was a yellow. He didnt drive his man into the ground, he just lost control of him and it made it look worse than it did. Definition of a yellow isnt it? Carelessness not purposeful?

Really gutted for Wales, lost their two most important players. Jones at the scrum and Warburton for the breakdown battle. Cymru am byth! (I think?)

 

[Richo]

Huge, huge call. Surely a yellow would have been much more appropriate. Player was released in the air as he realized his error.

i still think it was the right call. He drove him onto his neck almost, most refs dont have the balls to make the Red card call, but credit too him he made it.

Still I'm not happy cause it ruins Wales chances

 

[XVProps]

Com'n guys. Poor option, down the blind!

Depends on the "entry point" for the offense.
No judiciary would fail to support the send off by not imposing any additional penalty

Jeez such a huge call to make in a match like this.
