There's yer Sarries-Ospreys ref got the call from EPCR that it's a bit tight.

Nonsense yellow card that would never have been given the other way

I was just coming on to say the same thing, there has obviously been a note gone out to get the English teams through today.

When Glasgow play like that they are a joy to watch. Some of the defense needs tightened up when the serious stuff starts but our backs play is unreal at the moment whether its Tuipoltu Jones, Jonson McDowall. We've got loads of options across the 15 now that some big players are going to be benching at some point

Super Rugby this season has a rule where a ref can give an on-field yellow, and the TMO has the first 8 mins of the YC period to upgrade it to red if necessary.

It's an attempt to speed up the foul play process, and definitely won't lead to refs giving yellows for red card offences.

Oh, wait...

That’s a blatant red card without a replay.

It also only got upgraded to the 20 min red card, where a sub could then come on. Refs have the option of giving a permanent red, but the TMO review can only upgrade to the 20 minute one.

They've somehow managed to make something stupidly complicated even worse

How the hell did the referee think that was only a yellow?

It was about as obvious a red card as you could get.

What's even more bizarre is the roasters on that thread who didn't even think it was a yellow!
