ajwffc Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Disciplinary update: Motu Matu’u (Samoa) Samoa hooker Motu Matu’u appeared before an independent judicial committee having been cited for an act of foul play contrary to Law 9.13 (dangerous high tackle) in Samoa’s Rugby World Cup 2019 match against Russia on 24 September. The committee, chaired by Wang Shao Ing (Singapore lawyer and former international player) with former international players John Langford (Australia) and Olly Kohn (Wales), heard the case, considering all the available evidence, including multiple broadcast angles and submissions from the player and his representative. The committee, by majority, deemed that the incident was an act of foul play and warranted a red card for the following reasons: it was a reckless high tackle which made contact with the head of the opposition ball carrier a high degree of danger was reflected in the approach to the contact and follow-through the factors against mitigation in the High Tackle Sanction Framework were present, in that the tackler and the ball carrier were in open space and the tackler had clear line of sight of the ball carrier the majority of the committee were not satisfied that the change in height of the ball carrier was unreasonable and/or outside the estimation of the player. The player’s execution of the tackle resulted in a loss of control of the terms of contact with the opposition ball carrier The committee applied World Rugby’s mandatory minimum mid-range entry point, which was introduced in 2017 to mitigate the risk of head injuries, carrying a minimum six-match suspension. Having acknowledged Matu’u’s disciplinary record, good character and conduct at the hearing, the committee reduced the six-match entry point by three matches, resulting in a sanction of three matches. The sanction applies to the next three matches Matu’u is scheduled to play in. Matu’u is not scheduled to play for Samoa against Scotland on 30 September due to undergoing the graduated return to play protocol. He will therefore miss Samoa’s final two pool matches and the quarter-final should Samoa progress, or his next scheduled match with his club London Irish on 26 October, 2019. The suspension will therefore end at midnight after the Rugby World Cup 2019 quarter-finals if Samoa qualify or at midnight on 26 October if Samoa do not qualify for the quarter-finals, after which he is free to resume playing. Disciplinary update: John Quill (USA) USA flanker John Quill appeared before an independent judicial committee having received a red card for an act of foul play contrary to Law 9.13 (dangerous tackle) in USA’s Rugby World Cup 2019 match against England on 26 September. The committee, chaired by Nigel Hampton QC (New Zealand) with former international coach Frank Hadden (Scotland) and former international match official Valeriu Toma (Romania), heard the case, considering all the available evidence, including multiple broadcast angles and submissions from the player and his representative. The player admitted that he had committed an act of foul play worthy of a red card. In determining the sanction, the committee deemed that: There was an act of foul play (which was reckless, rather than deliberate) The act of foul play was a shoulder charge There was contact with the head There was a high degree of danger; and There were not sufficient mitigating factors to reduce the sanction from a red card to a yellow card Given the above outcomes, the committee applied World Rugby’s mandatory minimum mid-range entry point, which was introduced in 2017 to mitigate protect player welfare, deter high contact and prevent head injuries. This resulted in a starting point of a six-week suspension. Having acknowledged Quill’s good character and conduct at the hearing, the committee reduced the six-week entry point by three weeks, resulting in a sanction of three weeks, which equates to three matches in the context of the Rugby World Cup. Quill will miss USA’s three remaining pool matches (against France, Argentina and Tonga) at Rugby World Cup 2019. The suspension will end at midnight on 13 October, after which time he is free to resume playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Frisbee was utter shite. That tap free kick was abysmal and just piss poor effort all game. Brandon Thomson was awful and Jackson will need to play 10 until Hastings and Horne come back. Swinson and Harley both look like they are over the hill and they got murdered in the line out by the big 5. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snobot Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Cheetahs were very good, almost unplayable where almost everything came off. We were also sh*te. Missing line outs, knocking on, making stupid decisions ie Frisbee’s quick tap. Cheetahs will be right in the mix I think. Not sure where we stand based on that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honestly united Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I thought Thompson was ok, he tends to settle things down and had a decent boot on him. Frisbee, and the forwards were shocking. Although there were another 4 or 5 injuries, proper bare bones next week.Saying that as expected cheetahs looked really good, so probably not much a half strength warriors could do 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) What pro rugby team goes into a game and misses over 40 tackles?? Absolute horror show from us. To be fair though, I really don't think the Cheetahs are all that. They were better conditioned with the Currie Cup rugby over the summer. Also the Boks haven't touched their squad so they're going to target the bigger teams early season who've got loads of players in Japan, especially at home. That's before being in SA and having high altitude advantage comes into it. Edited September 27, 2019 by come on shire 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shoved a post up just saying the same as above but minding folk to cheer them to a recovery win next Fri night. I get where you're coming from. The FB forums are like a eutopia where you're not allowed negativity. It's worse on the Scottish rugby forum though. A few on these things fancy themselves as celebs tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
