i wish sky would show the incident that led to “all” 6 again’s as is in most of the cases I’m mystified what the problem was, its just an excuse for the refs to get at the team they don’t like, just like the olden days when the scrum half / hooker was penalised for feeding the scrum / feet up, its a total lottery & a bent one.
6 agains are a lottery we lose every week. Can’t understand it because when both teams do the same thing but only we get punished.
I thought it was a good performance against the best team in the hemisphere especially with the juniors in and the drubbing we got last week.
Namo makes a bog standard tackle that happens 100+ times a game - 5 match suspension.
Nsemba hip drop taking Tasipale out of the game - no penalty, not even reviewed by MRP.
Those cherry & white hoops doing a lot of heavy lifting with the MRP this season.
Smith drops Hooley on his head, it was actually Hooley’s fault
Dupree throwing elbows like he’s in the UFC during the derby is completely fine
Nsemba hip drop is completely fine, legal and not at all reckless.
It’s not a level playing field and we know it
Never as been.
Last few weeks the disciplinary have made it so obvious it’s embarrassing.
Sadly nothing is every done.
I’ve not yet seen the Nsemba tackle but if it genuinely is a hip drop, and weight is applied to te lower limbs of Tasipale, ten that is a clear breach of the rules. It is exactly what Namo was found guilty of.
In which case, I can only assume a broken ankle was the deciding factor, rather than the actual tackle.
However, I am curious as to whether Clubs can ‘site’ a player and fund a further review by the MRP? In a simlar way to appealling against a ban?
