    Where two of them on each team put their hands between another player’s legs from behind (when they bind on in a scrum).

    Well, i thought I understood RU. But I have no idea why the England player has been yellow carded. Surely an accidental clash of heads?

    Except the ball is literally never in play. Its constantly being retrieved from the criwd where its been punted by some lump, or being placed on a tee for yet another penalty to be taken. Or scrums are being collapsed and reset and collapsed and reset and collapsed and reset - then random penalty. Unwatchable.

    Whats this under review ******? It's even more stupid than it used to be. This game kicked off 16 minutes ago and i reckon the ball has been in play less than a minute. Its mental.

    Hahaha, this is garbage. A red card for accidental contact like that? People pay to watch this? Serious?

    It’s ridiculous. Two players trying to get to a ball.

    How that was a red card is a total mystery. I hope the Argie gets one as well……when they finally make their minds up

    just created a thread as didn’t see this one. He was trying to tackle, had his arms wrapped and made accidental head contact. Games ridiculous and rugby have been the best example of TMO usage until this charade

    And now it seems the Argentinian remains on a yellow despite launching himself into the England players head without an actual attempt at a tackle. Ridiculous.

    It was that heinous that the ref didnt actually see it in real time and allowed play to go on.

    Yep, I’m surprised the commentators aren’t questioning it more.

    That has completely confused me. Red card for England player after an accidental clash of heads and the Argentina player gets a yellow for clearly jumping at Ford........ bonkers

    I can't remember who it was but someone extremely intelligent and sexually attractive was only saying on here yesterday that no one understands the rules. Looks like that handsome poster was correct.

    New rules that try to apportion blame...even where there is none.

    The rules are an attempt to make what is basically a brutal game which causes serious head injuries as a matter of course into an acceptable contest in the modern era. Unfortunately they have failed and will continue to fail, and the game just becomes a farce. I hated it when they made us play it at Wath Grammar but used to quite enjoy watching. Can't say I still do :(

    Totally agree that rugby league seems far more free flowing. Like you I've never taken to Union because of its stop start nature but apparently it's much more tactical which I struggle to understand.
