it's crazy, isn't it? that would definitely have been given a red in the warm up games, for example._Os_ wrote: ↑Sat Sep 23, 2023 1:13 pm Portuguese player shoulder barges a Georgian, no arms ever going up to attempt to wrap, there was no tackle. The Portuguese player has been yellow carded 27 times in club rugby! Georgian left clutching his ribs, but plays on. Yellow and goes to the bunker, stays yellow. Before the focus on head contact that would be a solid red.
A thug intending to hurt a player in a move that was never a tackle gets a yellow. Meanwhile players that get unlucky with no intent can collect a red card if head contact is made.

I can't recall ever having seen a no arms shoulder charge that hit the body given anything higher than a yellow._Os_ wrote: ↑Sat Sep 23, 2023 1:13 pm Portuguese player shoulder barges a Georgian, no arms ever going up to attempt to wrap, there was no tackle.

Now this one certainly looked like there was some glancing head contact and since the 'tackle' was always illegal that would eliminate mitigation and thus be a red, but I only saw one replay as I had to put the washing on.

A brace for that man.
Portgual are really coming to life as the game wears on.

Only one team in it atm, question is if Portugal can build enough of a lead

A pity as we all love an underdog but that’s a hugely patient and professional try from Georgia

Very much a game of two halves as the old cliche goes. A draw probably fair. Not the first time Portugal have drawn with Georgia recently. Despite their self-advocacy, they're not the only tier 2 European team worth paying attention to.

Lisbon away for the rugby is really on my mind

A fascinating series of scrum resets has broken out.
Even with a fantasy bank line. Not sure what fantasies the commentator has.
Did Smith goose step or did Farrells pass make him stop?

Smith could've gone himself there.

Chile look a lot more practised at using the ball than we do.
Witth England it's either forwards OR it's backs. We've not really caught up with the 15 man game concept.sockwithaticket wrote: ↑Sat Sep 23, 2023 3:58 pm Chile look a lot more practised at using the ball than we do.
