       Marlers Yellow

       When I first saw it in real time from the South stand I
       instantly thought it was red, however watching the replays on
       the big screen I could see both arms for the wrap, shoulder was
       ok and player jumped into the tackle. So if anything pen to
       Quins.
       Am I way off in my thinking?

       A very harsh yellow for me.

       Listening to the reflink, it started off as a red card because
       his left arm wasn't trying to wrap around the Bath player.
       However the decision was that there was mitigation as the Bath
       player was toppled forward due to the other player (Esterhuizen
       I think) which made the Bath player flip the way he did.

       Thought it was harsh, I thought Joe was committed to the tackle
       and you could see his right arm was ready to wrap (couldn't see
       left arm from the camera angle shown), and looked like
       Esterhuizen's tackle changed the direction the Bath player was
       going enough to make it look bad.
       Pearce started at red, said high danger, not wrapping with left
       arm but mitigation of the Esterhuizen tackle i think.

       From my seat it looked a pretty horrific fall in real time, but
       like you on the big screen replays I was struggling to see what
       Andre or Joe did wrong. I thought I saw a clear attempt to wrap
       from Joe, and there was a sudden change of angle as Andre
       scragged De Glanville which gave little time to adjust.
       Hope De Glanville is okay. I'm surprised he was allowed to carry
       on to be honest.

       I thought it was a very harsh decision. It was a low tackle,
       passive rather than active, there was no lift and from what I
       could see on the replay Joe’s arms were in position to wrap. The
       outcome was bad, and that will always be looked at, but it was
       the force of Andre’s (level) tackle that tipped de Glanville
       over.
       We have to put player safety first, but if you’ve got a
       situation where you end up handing out cards for technically
       sound tackles because of external factors, it’s gone too far.

       Just watched it again, and to me it appears De Granville does
       jump into the tackle, Pearce says it is a step rather than a
       jump.

       I couldn’t see anything wrong with it on the big screen and
       didn’t think anything would happen as the player jumped onto the
       tackle, which I believe is not allowed, thus causing him to
       somersault over. Luckily no harm done. Except the two tries
       against us.

       Yeah looked awful in real time but on review, not even a yellow.
       Refs are too scared not to give something in case, post video
       scrutiny, it's found to be dangerous. With a yellow, they cover
       their backsides.
       The Obano one was weird, his face when he turned into the tackle
       looked in sheer agony and I'm sure i heard a scream. To then
       carry on and give away a scrum penalty was farcical. And what
       was that bloke in the Dr's scrubs all about? Looked like an
       extra from a teenage horror flick!
