People can make their own minds up.. some mitigating factors for me were that the player had a) been tackled and b) was dropping in height. That said it's an upright tackle, shoulder to face and with as much force as the Porter incident and it's reckless. If Porter kops 6 reduced to 3 then this most certainly should have got something too.. lack of consistency in decision making and even at the citing panel we can't get consistency!

The name doesn't ring a bell, but it was a while ago!! This was age grade.

Re: Gibson-Park
Okay... now we have pretty much an absolute identical incident... Oh look! Red card for Reed!
I will whinge about the ref, but they have it in real-time
Citing commission though - no excuses... come on how much has the IRFU paid you?!
