       In real time there was no way he could avoid it. Ridiculous
       decision. There were terrible inconsistencies from Peyper and
       his team. I wonder what he had in his pipe ....

       Sorry but whatever you thought about the decision that's
       rubbish.

       OK - now there's something to argue about. Watch the very first,
       early, pulled back shot where they track the England player. To
       me he runs in from a long way out at at any time could vary the
       direction he's running. He can see what's happening in front of
       him, he has plenty of time to go for a hit/tackle. Instead he
       uses that time to keep standing up and to turn his shoulder
       while still moving forward. He actually jumps into contact.
       Sorry, but I don't see the mitigation. I see he was unlucky the
       Irish player makes head contact, maybe there's something to be
       had from that but I don't see the "He couldn't do anything
       different" argument. He chose not to do anything different and
       paid the price.

       I think you're right. What's not clear to me is what he was
       actually trying to do. If he's trying to get out of the way,
       then why? If he was hoping to make a tackle, then how? There was
       a comparison earlier in the thread with players doing a pick &
       drive, but that's not how you defend against that. It's also not
       what you do when a player is running straight at you.

       Seems the ref needs to study the guidance again.
       A fair few apply from that section, certainly the change in
       height (gathering the ball) and where he didn’t have time to
       change his position massively to avoid the collision.
       The general consensus I’ve seen is that it was the wrong call,
       funnily enough apart from those with Irish sounding names or
       their location being the Emerald Isle

       I'm not suggesting for a moment that this is what happened, but
       are we getting to an area where players can duck their heads to
       make contact, and have an opponent sent off? I really hope not.
       I watched the incident several times on the TV, and I don't
       think there was any malice in the collision, nor was there a
       high level of danger that would warrant a red card. I appreciate
       the rules are there for a reason, but I've seen worse go
       unpunished. This was more a moment of indecision than anything
       else.

       In real time it looked to me as though he was turning out of the
       tackle, problem is that once you start all of the slow motion
       replays you can convince yourself of anything, harsh decision in
       my view but it is what it is.

       In real time it was nothing. Once they did it in slow time and
       the Irish crowd over dramatically has their “oohhhs” and
       “beejaysus!” The ref seemingly was convinced
