that players might look to exploit refs being panicky with
anything to do with the head. If you know anything connected to
a head collision would probably end in a red, is it a gamble
worth taking to get you an advantage in a crucial game?

Is a brain injury worth getting an advantage in a game? I'd
guess for most players, no.

You'd like to think so, but I hope it dosen't see players trying
to make a meal out of things like you'd see in football or
taking a risk they shouldn't if they know it would help the
cause out.

Simulation is a slightly different matter and unfortunately
already creeping into the game. Even at the lowly level I play
at, we see players diving and clutching their heads. 🙄

I think it was Marchant, where he was livid he got a little
push. The Irish do like to make a meal about everything

It might have been Curry when he attempted a charge down, or
maybe Dombrandt when he looked like he might tackle Sexton, or
Marchant when he looked at him in a funny way, or you could be
right about it being Willis when Sexton took offence at the way
his socks were unevenly pulled down.

It was Marchant. Disappointing, but I think the ref dealt with
it well.

thought it looked like FS was running in to try to kick the ball
but pulled out and tried to turn when he knew he couldnt get
there hence turning sideways and hence he was moving forward
until just prior to the collision. It was a yellow not a red,
both entitled to go for the ball, no attempt at a tackle and an
attempt to turn out the way with an unlucky head injury the
result.

Steward didn't try to get out of the way, he turned to brace
himself for the contact and got Keenan's head with his elbow.
Now, AFAIK, the starting point is a red for direct head contact
so what's the mitigation that reduces it to a yellow?
