       TMO Bottles It

       This happened in the final today. I love the new law where all
       the on field ref has to do is work out "was there foul play?".
       If there was, he immediately yellow cards the offender and
       leaves it to the TMO to decide yellow or red. If red, he can be
       replaced after 20 minutes off the pitch (so red doesn't mean the
       end of the game for one side). Saves all that Wayne Barnes
       staring at never ending replays kind of stuff, you just get on
       with the game.
       However, look at this and tell me the recipient of the ball was
       ducking down, the reason the TMO gave for not making it a red.
       Clearly rubbish.

       Clear red.
       Both players should have a concussion check.

       Just listening to the words the ref uses....foul play, direct
       head on head contact, no mitigation. I can't think of a single
       scenario where that equals a Yellow card. Just a disgrace

       Well the TMO Bunker obviously overrides the Ref. Bizarre.

       Not the ref's fault though.

       It was no better in the World U20 Championship.
       Irish player sidesteps england player and smashes into a n other
       england player who didn't even know what hit him. England player
       yellow carded for not trying to make a tackle or dipping.
       England player didn't know that the Irish player was going to
       side step his team mate and run straight into him.
       Later in the game Irish player runs recklessly head first into
       england player with ball, and nearley knocks him self out. Irish
       team are going mad and say it's all the England players fault
       and are shocked when their player is shown a straight red!

       Disagree on the Fisilau yellow. It seemed the minimum
       requirement. I'm not sure the step was a mitigating factor and I
       can just about get behind the "passive" nature of the tackle
       stopping it being a red but wouldn't really have complained if
       it was red. The Irish one was a stone cold red.

       I'm with QP, I'm afraid Rob. The English player was going into
       the contact area and wasn't dipped for the tackle, but the
       mitigation was the sudden change of direction. I think a yellow
       was the right call but given how the framework is being refereed
       I couldn't have objected to a red.
       The Irish red was spot on, though, even though their player came
       off worse. The ball carrier was legal even under the waist
       tackling rules (which aren't in force at U20 yet, I think).

       It's not like the step was last millisecond and the England
       player was watching & covering that channel for precisely that
       reason. He just went and made a tackle without trying to lower
       his body height (which would've been required for the contact
       area, too). Just lazy.
