Ireland v Samoa

davedanon · 12-10-2019 11:55am

I thought that was a terrible tackle on Stockdale at the time.

Euphoriasean · 12-10-2019 11:56am

Yellow right call

Clareman · 12-10-2019 11:56am

Good reffing that

shootermacg · 12-10-2019 11:56am

You'd have to say he's unlucky there. He was really low.

mangobob · 12-10-2019 11:56am

I know its the rules, but I still find that kind of decision very harsh.

LuckyGent88 · 12-10-2019 11:57am

Correct decision. Stockdale was very low

Bridge93 · 12-10-2019 11:57am

Nice Berry is a superb referee

12-10-2019 11:57am

I dunno. Letter of the law and all that crap, but seriously, this stuff is killing the game. That was a waist high tackle.

Will we get to the point where players deliberately drop into tackles?

Larbre34 · 12-10-2019 11:57am

Samoa have said they'll give up playing for this stuff. I can't say i blame them.

Squidgy Black · 12-10-2019 11:58am

I think that's fair. Another day that could've technically been given as a red according to the framework.

Clareman · 12-10-2019 11:58am

Is it just me or are we being intercepted a lot this year???

VinLieger · 12-10-2019 11:58am

Yellow deffinitely correct there

Kermit.de.frog · 12-10-2019 11:58am

How can Ireland avoid New Zealand?

This is it · 12-10-2019 11:58am

Why is the ref not signalling for penalty advantage ffs. Murray has to roar over to JS

Bob Harris · 12-10-2019 11:59am

Very harsh yellow card.

We were found out months ago.

To be fair when you have a name for tackling high, then you'll be reffed accordingly.

if a player is willing to drop his head to a lads shoulder then fair play to them, in my opinion the responsibilty is with the tackler to get their technique right and adjust for who they are tackling

I understand the need to make intent of the defender irrelevant in the decision, but if the attackers actions are contributory, there needs to be a bit of room to work it out another way. Player welfare requires everyone to be considerate to each other on the pitch. Not just the defending team at that time.
