Yet in a recent article, on SKY Sports website I think, EJ or journo mentions there is no such 'Law' in the same article where EJ says ref should have yellow carded himself.

Weird thing is, if the player going off had inadvertently got involved in play somehow would Eng have been charged with having too many players on pitch?

We all know Welsh teams get away with an extra player on...

exactly imagine if Bigger had scuffed the kick and it smacked Watson in the back, what the hell happens there? Is the ball live? Is it a scrum? If so who's feed?

all solved by simply waiting for Watson to get off the field of play

Here we go. Found a bit more on it now. This is from WalesOnline though.

If the referee signals time on, which Gauzere did, then there is nothing in the law to say the yellow carded player has to be off the field so long as he doesn't affect play.

Therefore, the referee does not need to wait. He can restart when he wishes to.

It wasn't clear whether Gauzere knew that Heinz was going off for a HIA but, in terms of the complaint over Watson's presence on the field, Biggar was well within his right to take the penalty quickly.

Don't know if this is the right place to post this but looks like there could be some shocking omissions in Argentinas RWC squad including Cordero,Isa and Imhoff!

The HIA incident is no different to when play carries on and a player is receiving treatment on the field. There's nothing illegal about it. It was schoolboy rugby from England not being ready for the whistle.
But when a player is receiving treatment and there is a break in play, ie a penalty, play does not resume until the issue is resolved. I agree with your last sentence.

Incorrect, the world cup ref protocol is both HIA needs to be replaced and Yellow or red carded player has to have left the pitch prior to play resuming. This was not Wales fault but was a reffing issue. Bear in mind that all the warm up games are being played under world cup protocols

Yep, but that's the refs choice. It's a lot less common now but I remember numerous occasions when scrums and lineouts were started when there was a back being treated out the way on the field. Pretty sure its quite common for play to restart when the player is still walking off the field, especially if they are carded a large distance from the tunnel. It's just not normally noticed.

Anyway, my point was that it's not actually in the laws of the game AFAIK.

if the protocol put in place says do not restarts until the sin binned player and medical staff/injured player are off the field and he restarts play that's not his choice that's him breaking the rules put in place for the game, refs are there to enforce the laws of the game not just the ones they feel like

But I'm yet to see this actually written down anywhere. All the match reports that talk about the incident cite how it's not actually a regulation. I'm happy to be corrected if someone can actually find proof of it!

Good on Wales,it's our own fault for switching off. My gripe is Ben Youngs being pulled back for two perfectly good tap and gos. Watson was never a yellow either,the refs consistency throughout the game was none existant. It was a poor game all-round really as a spectacle,both teams holding a lot back. Nothing to read into for me.

I was referring to your comment about the HIA, not the yellow card, I thought this was clear. I apologise for the lack of clarity if you thought that when I said receiving treatment, you interpreted this as the administration of a yellow card. LOTG? At the very least 10.4k although of course this is very rarely followed by the Welsh. Yes, the referee was also culpable in this instance.

I understood that, hence discussion of players being treated in other parts of the pitch while play goes on/is resumed. In this case I'm talking about all treatment. Heinz was off the pitch, the fact the Youngs wasn't was due to the England's paperwork/organisation and the 4th official, not the ref. You can see Youngs waiting to come on but England management made a mess of it.

I mentioned yellow cards again as I would bet its common, I'm just not going to check past matches and see at what point the ref blows his whistle and where the offending player is...

There is no law that says the ref has to wait for anyone to do anything. I'll leave it at that. Professional players/coaches are complaining because they should never have let it happen in the first place.

Does this mean the ref in the Wales V England match last weekend was well within his rights to play on quickly?
There are already too many long breaks in play, this is just adding to it.
It's allowing larger players to benefit more and more as they keep changing laws.
Scrums which should be completed in seconds are taking minutes just to set up and then minutes again to complete, line outs take an age, subs coming on is slow etc.
Everything has minutes for a breather included.
If they made them get on with it, as it should be because that's how it originally was, then these oversized players would be blowing after ten minutes, they'd need to be fitter and lighter, impacts would reduce, less HIA's etc.
Common sense!
