How isn't that a red card? Ref must be a homer!

Try Wales Ken Owens might be a tighter game now.

It wouldn’t even definitely be a Sin Bin in rugby league, that was just a mistakenly high tackle which would just be a penalty. Didn’t mean it at all and the lad ducked his head right where the tackler was engaging his arms to make the tackle.

In union , one minute players are told that they must always engage their arms when tackling but in doing so in that situation he got himself sin binned.

thought the ref got that one right too - a change of direction and ducking.

I agree it must be a nightmare, and I think they just live with it now.
It certainly wasn't red, but I think there was a fair amount of force given where he came from - plenty of body to hit instead.

Plus they don't have a roof ;-)

We don't need one.
It never rains over here.

Dont know much about rugby but looks like Gatland has his work cut out to sort us out.

That bit of timber is getting closer ffs

Solid win for Scotland against a rebuilding Wales. Think a team with more penetration, France, won’t pass up as much possession in the final third without gaining points.
