Wales are doing well out of these cards.

To be honest if the player wasn't lifted it would have been worse so it's not a mitigation.

Still doesn't look as reckless and deliberate as O'Mahony's.

Had to be red.

Wales are dog**** and will be 2-0

pickarooney · 13-02-2021 07:09PM

Wales for the grand slam at this rate

Ishmael · 13-02-2021 07:09PM

Could turn into a bonus point win for wales.

fitz · 13-02-2021 07:09PM

Good to see consistency, tbh. They have to stick with these decisions if they want to change player behaviour.

Not sure the Scots are playing well enough to win with 14, even with how bad Wales are.

Try..Wales to march on and smash the Scots

almostover · 13-02-2021 07:09PM

For me thats a poor decision. It was a yellow. Mitigation as Hogg crocodile rolled Wyn Jones into a more upright position. Fagerson had committed to the clear out before then. Had Hogg done nothing, Fagerson's clearout would have been fine

That's a red and it's the type of red you want to see awarded to be honest. It's a defenceless players getting hit in the head.

I agree, the player was very stupid to perform an act that got him absolutely justifiably sent off.

Forceful shoulder to head. Clear red.

bilston · 13-02-2021 07:10PM

Probably red, but the Welsh player did move just before contact, but actually his movement probably made it less severe.

Not quite as clear cut as O'Mahony's though, but still red.

Wales are jammy b@st@rds

TMO clearly thought it wasn’t a red though

Consistent at least, but did he actually hit the head? POM was square in the face?

POM was far worse - definite red - today was yellow - Scotland robbed , ref really wanted to give it

lawrencesummers · 13-02-2021 07:10PM

This isnt a deliberate hit to the head, it’s a clear out and the Welsh player is moving, and being moved by the other Scottish player clearing out.

What’s wrong with a yellow card???

You think they'd beat England and France?

TomsOnTheRoof · 13-02-2021 07:11PM

It's a red but if world rugby want to stamp this out they need to address the breakdown. Too many injuries and needless cards as a result of the current iteration of the laws. Maybe time to have a look at getting rid of the poacher.

If I heard right the TMO was considering mitigating factors but the ref seemed to just dismiss that idea.

DellyBelly · 13-02-2021 07:11PM

Wales really have turned this around. Looking impressive now

He's was being moved out of the way of the tackle, not into it.

It's a red, not as serious as O'Mahony's which looked much more deliberate but both reds.

Not to go over old ground Venjur and POM’s definitely look mor reckless but I don’t see how you can think it deliberate. He was lining up Tipuric.

I think we’ll see players sacrificing speed of ruck entry for more accuracy, especially from such a distance out.

Absolute rubbish, that was a red all day long... there's no point in people saying they want a safe game for their kids to play and then excusing that rubbish

Sabre0001 · 13-02-2021 07:13PM

So how does the breakdown get fixed? Rolling in earlier game led to serious injury, arriving at pace is resulting in these hits (even if they're trying to stay low)? You can see why teams are relying on kicking ball / keeping it super tight so players don't get isolated.

Will you come off it.

Fagerson had his man in the crosshairs from about a mile out and gave it the full WWE. If Hogg hadn't rolled him up, who would XF have been clearing out then??

Red.

c.p.w.g.w · 13-02-2021 07:13PM

The rules for the breakdown will need to be changed...if you are a defender get as low as possible and it's next to impossible to be cleared out...or just drop your height when you see an attacker looking to clear out...guaranteed pen and possible red card
