It's partly because the protocol for contact like that is to start at red and mitigate down, rather than start at penalty and decide how bad from there

Protocol is nonsense though.  I've seen worse tackles not penalised because although there was intent the contact wasn't made.

How is it worse if there is no contact?

[DeeTillEhDeh]

We need to be sensible here - eat down the clock then regroup at half time

Intent I said.  Look at Adams - no arms tackle but got away with it because there was minimal contact on Steyn.

Sleeping there - zero support for Fagerson

[Savage Henry]

Scotland’s discipline has gone to shit.

[Snobot]

Thank f*ck for that

[DeeTillEhDeh]

That's an awful miss by Wales

Need 2 get the finger oot.. Get into this shower

[DeeTillEhDeh]

We need to stop playing their game - why kick it all the time?

[D Angelo Barksdale]

Incredible that we could have been going in behind if they hadn't butchered that chance at the end.

[Savage Henry]

Just when you start to love Townsend’s team, they play like this.

[Self-raising Lazarus]

We need to start playing. You can see how poor this Wales team are, stop panicking, do the basics and it's ours to lose here.

[S7C]

We’re playing down to their level and we’ll end up losing it if this continues.

Same story every single year.

Adams was wrapping his left arm for the tackle though which was the correct way to approach the tackle when he started it, Steyn's position changed more drastically than North's did because of the other tackler catching him.

Aside from the correct yellow, Biggar is pretty much refereeing the breakdown now. Need to just get some territory and be patient here.

We're letting them dictate the type of game - some of our decision making has been appalling.

Agree about patience - a few drive and rucks instead of kicking for territory would not go amiss.

[come on shire]

We're doing our best to let Wales back into the game here.

Adams tackle is a red herring.  He tries to tackle it's nowhere near the head, play on.

Yellow the correct call for Turner, but how the fvk is North back on.
