Other Easter Weekend Games - 15th to 17th April 2022

[WhitecapTiger]

No foul play, both players in a realistic position to catch, unfortunate landing, scrum Toulouse to restart.

Could be two ulster players getting red in the same tackle here

[WhitecapTiger]

Now looking at a possible double shoulder to the head by 2 Ulster players on a toulouse player

[Big Dai]

Both should have gone there......

[Big Dai]

Refereeing gone to pot

[Scott1]

Not even yellows?

[WhitecapTiger]

Red card for Ulster 18 O'Toole, direct shoulder to head contact no mitigation, the second player was adjudged to have only hit Toulouse player in the head due to 18 knocking him sideways first

[Robespierre]

Am on a train with dozens of happy Tigers’ fans so can’t watch the Toulouse game. Allez Toulouse!!

Fair?

[WhitecapTiger]

Ulster 20-23 Toulouse (46-43) with 65 mins on clock. Toulouse a man up.

Red card for Ulster 18 O'Toole, direct shoulder to head contact no mitigation, the second player was adjudged to have only hit Toulouse player in the head due to 18 knocking him sideways first

Which was ridiculous the second player actually swung his shoulder into his head with no wrap at all

[Big Dai]

Both contact with the head both too high....by today's rules both red?

[WhitecapTiger]

Both contact with the head both too high....by today's rules both red?

Does make a mockery of the system, you're either 'by the letter of the law' (as some would say about Chessum) or you're not, in this case not - but a plausible (?) explanation for tentative mitigation given by the ref - not saying I agree.

[kpj tiger]

This is what is wrong with the laws/officiating, we've seen several reds this weekend but it feels like just as many identical
incidents have been mitigated down to a yellow or nothing at all

[Jimmy Skitz]

no the hookers had mitigation, surprised he didn't get a yellow mind
