14 hours ago International Rugby Six favours the All Blacks need from Santa's little helpers
I only have a few things on my list of rugby Christmas wishes from Santa this year. None of them are too much to ask, either.

Red cards need to be sorted. Not many enjoy watching 2 tier 1 teams where one team only has 14 men for much of the match, particularly if they have paid E150. At least I can and do switch off if I’m watching on TV
That’s what some of us thought when Sam Cane got upped to red in the most important rugby match in four years! Millions watching and still theres no idea who was the person who decided it was a red card?
Good thing both teams had a full complement for the majority of the match, then.
Well that’s up to rugby players to be careful when tackling, the 20mins red card is a heresy and purely guided by game’s attractiveness and money greediness at the cost of player’s health. You do foul play, you’re out, that’s it. Rugby is not football, it’s still a game, not a business.
