DeeTillEhDeh Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 You have to look at the speed of the incident, and the fact that Watson effectively ducked at the last second. Rugby shouldn't become football. That was a yellow card. It wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggy Snake Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Definitely looked like a red on the replay but would like to have seen it at normal speed again. Slow-mo always make things look intentional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't think there was anything deliberate about it but very careless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugby shouldn't become football. That was a yellow card. I think that's staggering. I think the speed of the incident makes it worse, and I think Watson isn't ducking at all. But, whatever, Sexton's going to muck up position anyway. Finn Russell would be precisely the stand off the Lions need right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddfg Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Munster blew Glasgow away in Europe last season with a similar advantage, different circumstances but it's not a given the Lions will win it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmc Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 No problem with that being a red tbh. Seen that given as a yellow before but sbw knew what he was doing n ref was perfectly entitled to go red. Surprised the ref/tmo didn't run the clip full speed but still just about a red. Would be a full minter if lions can't beat 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmc Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Surely the lions can take it to a decider now?As a non rugby man...is the advantage bigger or smaller than in football? Much bigger especially this early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If rugby turns into football then the game is fucked. Garces is ruining this game...looks like he wants to be the main show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing remotely surprising about it is that the ref had the bottle to send off an All Black. A Tongan or Samoan would be sent off for that every time and given a lengthy ban.

My reservation on finn would be him trying to overplay in his own half in this weather but he could certainly exploit a natural overlap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
