Have to watch the scrum half throwing though, some English refs might have given a red.
The yellow was fair in my opinion, off the ball and reckless but the lift wasn’t dangerously above the horizontal to warrant a red.

Brad Weber is, I would say, an average sized scrum half.

Good news that he is coming back, maybe he will be selected for the Rugby Championship but that isn't on for a while yet.
