Super Rugby Referees To Use White Cards - I Am Not A Fan!

2012-02-13T15:26:00.003-08:00

Super Rugby referees will use white cards to place foul play incidents on report where a culprit can't be identified this season. While I think there is space for the use of technology if it is available I think this could become like the use of the Television Match Official where referees no longer have the confidence to make the tough calls and can shift the weight of the decision onto another

Wales Lock Bradley Davies Cited For Spear Tackle - He Should Have Got A Red Card!

2012-02-07T02:37:00.000-08:00

Wales lock Bradley Davies should have been given a red card for his spear tackle on Ireland's Number 18 Donnacha Ryan on his head. A similar tackle by Wales captain Sam Warburton in the Rugby World Cup semi final against France was rightfully punished with a red card and these tackles look identical.Compare this tackle to the one which saw Ireland's Stephen Ferris yellow carded.
