'Game's out of control': Coaches, players, fans and refs are united by their hatred of the dumbest law in rugby

Are you Jacko ? Hardly the forum to be coming out of the closet. I have to agree with you Jim. I cancelled my Stan subscription again last night. I still get enjoyment watching my son play. I might have to start watching some of the senior local games. Just can’t seem to give it all away 🙁

Well done Peter. Got a bit of a hard time about it too, from memory.
Parke’s title choice “It’s official, the rugby worlds gone mad” is very accurate. This is even more evident after reading some of the comments !

'Perplexing decision' Reds prop to miss three weeks for dangerous tackle

Hopefully we can muscle up in defense. It’s going to take a lot of hard work and a bit of luck to beat these Boks.

Quade Cooper versus the Boks: What could possibly go wrong?

Three cards for the boks. One red and two yellows. Australia wins by 3.

Well said Biltong. I am just waiting for a team to lose a tournament or to be kicked out of a world cup due to a red card, that isn’t a red card. It’s only a matter of time.

'Not guilty': Why Jordie Barrett was cleared for Koroibete face kick

I simply want to see a fair contest of 15 on 15. It is an elite sport. Any team that loses a player is at a huge disadvantage. Did the best team win on the day ? We will never know for certain.

Reds hold their nerve to break Australia's Super Rugby drought

Thanks for the reply. I’d be upset if Thorn’s team didn’t have a good pack. I stopped watching due to all the cards being dished out. Ironically, they seem to have contributed to a cracking game this time. Hopefully, they will change the card rules again in time for the internationals.

Missed the game. Would the Reds have won without the cards ?

If rugby hierarchy was serious, they would just ban tackling all together. Despite the cards/penalties, players continue to offend. Clearly the cards are not enough of a deterrent. Why not just change it to touch tackle ?

Australia let down by poor discipline in final game of the season

And get rid of cards !

Three easy changes to improve rugby right now

My god that was boring. I haven’t watched in a while because I thought cards were ruining the game. Must admit that cards for this game made it a bit more interesting!

It’s killed the game for me. I am done. Hopefully there will be a time when I can watch a game of 15 vs 15 without the fear of the outcome being decided by cards.

World Rugby and the refs are killing the game

I was looking forward to this game. Stopped watching as soon as the red card came out. I don’t think I will bother with the rest of the world cup either. The games are now decided by the officails.
