    Would have taken the 3 there. Still, let's see if it pays off.

    This is awful, they look like scoring a try at every attack and two awful mistakes helped set up the last two.

    Two factors not considered: a good deal of force and no attempt to wrap - just about bumps it up to a yellow IMO.

    Was worried about our maul pre-game. Finlay a big loss.

    In saying the ref isn’t helping. Would love to know how he could think Carty was hit in the chest when he needed a HIA.

    To the people saying "dive"

    You get a hit when you're off balance and not expecting a hit from someone 30kg heavier than you and you'll go down like that - saying it was a dive is pretty easy when you're not the one getting hit.

    Because he was very clearly hit in the chest and the video made it exceptionally clear

    He knew Carty was hit in the chest because cameras capture the exact events that happen on the pitch and allow us to review them at our leisure.

    Think the height was just about OK, but even if it's not high your head can get whipped forward pretty hard .

    I’d say he hurt himself more throwing himself on the floor than getting an arm across the chest mate. He’s a rugby player not a footballer.

    There's 10kg in the difference between Connors and Carry, if even. Unless Will's made a shift to TH that we haven't been made aware of.

    What height do you want him to tackle him at just out of interest?

    Wouldn’t even be a controversial decision. If they’re going with form he’s easily top right now.

    Throwing out of touch- check

    Scrummaging- ?

    Probably a bit less in fairness. Prob 25, no less than 20. Connors is listed as 102, but I do t believe that for a second (maybe 3-4 years ago)

    Even putting aside this outrageous ****e talk, if Carty isn’t capable of taking contact from the opposition 7 he won’t last long

    I am at the game and I too was able to watch it at my leisure. Initial contact was to the chest and then head therefore it should have been yellow.

    Then explain why he stayed on the ground holding his face/head?
