On another note, Russell mixed bag classic this. Sublime passes but can't kick off the tee, hail mary pass into touch, dreadful clearing kick then compounded by missed tackle to result in a try.

Red card man having a shocker. Should have passed that inside for his team mate to clear or let it run over the line.

Jesus. I’ve just seen a replay of that. That’s redder than the Tongan jerseys. Should have been a straight red in the field.

That error count against a half decent side kills any chance of winning. As SA found out last night with Libbok.

So, as a copper, and presumably one who didn't routinely falsify the evidence a la The Met, which of those statements is incorrect?

Prep yourself as soon as the WC is over. Was listening to Dr Ross Tucker’s podcast a couple of weeks ago and he hinted at a WR announcement he wasn’t allowed to reveal. His co-host didn’t dig but I bet it’s a global tackle height drop (sternum would be my guess, if it happens).
I don’t see how this will solve anything. People aren’t hitting high because the rules permit it, they’re hitting high because it’s inherently advantageous in this sport. In fact, I can’t see how this won’t mean MORE cards and endlessly bickering about how much sanction every single contact should warrant.
That’s the point, coaches have decided it’s worth the risk to keep hitting that high. Lower the permitted height and it won’t be near the head even if it’s slightly illegal
I’m just skeptical it will change behavior, and would just mean that every other tackle will now be sanctionable.

But I suppose for me the problem in question is the litigation that surrounds every bit of contact, rather than the contact itself. Debating the legality of a tackle or the merits of a card is like half of any discussion of a game now. It sucks.

I realise having a sub standard IQ is a basic requirement for being a policeman anywhere in the world, so maybe best you step away from debating and stick to whatever it is you are good at.

Scotland will need to up performance by 200% from last 2 games or may as well not bother turning up for Ireland game. Underwhelming 2 displays for a top 5 ranked side.

Or hope that Ireland lose all discipline and Scotland actually get a red card decision in their favour and make use of it.

Are you pleased with your edit. I'm just pointing out the blindingly obvious. Your Russell thread alone makes it quite bloody obvious how most of the bored regards the pish you spout. I'm quite happy to call you out when you do it because it is fucking boring.

Scotland should be pleased with this overall I think. Not a perfect performance but let’s be honest it’s hard for Tier 1 teams to really get their tail up against a Tier 2 side. They’ve stretched their legs a bit and have had some nice passages of play. Mission accomplished IMO
