Le capitaine de l'Ouganda suspendu 6 mois pour un post sur X

As I said in another post, he was always going to be the key point of difference, and it was pretty predictable how he was the one reeking havoc. I was really disappointed Foster removed him, and contestable kicks in general, as a weapon after he got carded against France. We put South Africa under huge pressure at Mt Smart with high kicks but they were none existent for the rest of the WC due to the lottery they can be (which like not risking having only one or two back subs, was not a smart or statistically sound choice).

So from an AB perspective that is a bit disappointing, as I don’t think he’s going to have someone to do it for him, but I’m really happy with the frequency he runs it back instead anyway.

Or Jedi powers to force PT to the side so he glide over the line.

You might have it right though, leading up, in all rugby/competitions mean, to the last WC it did feel like there had been better discipline/less than the normal amount of cards. Well, at least a certain demographic of teams improved at least, but not so much NZ ones is my point.

I bet you also think going harsher would be the best way to go reducing head contact and the frequency of concussions?

I would hate to have your theory tested as it requires subjective thinking from the officials but..

AI Overview

In Super Rugby Pacific, a red card means the player is sent off for the rest of the match, but with a 20-minute red card, the team can replace the player after 20 minutes of playing with 14 men. If the foul play is deemed deliberate and with a high degree of danger, a full red card is issued, and the player cannot be replaced. A second yellow card also results in a 20-minute red card with a replacement allowed. 

is there to stop that from happening. The whole subjective thing is why we have 20min cards, and I worry that the same leniency that stopped them from red carding a player who ran 30 meters and still didn’t get his head low enough would stop them straight redn them too.

Back to the real topic though, right after that WC we saw those same angles getting red carded all over the show. So do some players actually have control over their actions enough to avoid head collisions (and didn’t gaf after the WC?), or was it pure luck or an imaginary period of good discipline?

So without a crystal ball to know the truth of it I think you’ll find it an immeasurably better product with 20m red cards, there just does not appear to be any appropriate amount of discipline added to the back end, the suspensions (likely controlled by WR), yet.

It was tough losing Lolesio early for the Brums, it ruined their systems and flow.
