what i did notice was that this ref let the game flow nicely, he didnt blow pedantically, and the yellow was not that bad a choice, considering he showed the white card as well. he did miss some basics initially, the aussie jumpers in the first three lineouts were taking the ball on their outside shoulders, clearly and quite badly skew, but he wasnt biased, and had a good game imho.

Why did only Hougaard get a red card for his tip tackle and everyone else gets a yellow?

I must say the quality of the refs this season has been shocking in almost every game

4. Wallabie. No mate you can throw quite a few punches and just get a yellow it seems. Also only 3 week ban even if you cause stitches

isnt a spear tackle less dangerous than a punch ?

The dude who threw the punch…we should expect to see him get 4 weeks!

As saffas say it should have been an automatic red and the ref saw it.

The tackle was bad…..would not say it is the best example of a spear tackle. The landing was the example of a spear tackle but to be classified as a true spear tackle he would had to have been driven into the ground.

This was perhaps the clearest example of a spear tackle you will ever see. Absolutely textbook. It should have been a red, as the citing commissioner has already concluded. I expect a lengthy ban. Digby Ioane got 5 weeks for a much more gentle tackle.

Typical. Only the poor Aussies get cited. Apparently Flip was no angel but as usual nothing will happen because he is Saffa.
