I played until my senior year of high school here in the USA when I had a career ending injury from a dump tackle. It’s great to see the steps being taken for player safety have only increased
This is what annoys me about modern rugby and why I watch less and less-- if the tackler goes in with a somewhat upright tackle as in 4:26/4:33 he is red carded, even if the head contact isn't severe. At 2:12 where Barrett sticks his foot out towards the approaching tackler that is delíberate dirty play and deserves a red card ánd a ban afterwards. (And then at 2:20 he acts all unbelieving like a gay drama queen).
Also at 2:47/2:51-- that is not a red card tackle. It's a hard tackle but not deliberately dangerous. Stop play at exactly 2:46 and it's clear that both players are crouched low a split second before impact, and the ball carrier then comes more upright with the result that the tackle looks high and dangerous.
The lady player at 1:47 to 1:50 trying to get the ball carrier to let go of her jersey-- that red card is TOTALLY FUCKING STUPID and unnecessary, that is in no way dangerous or deserving of a red card. In my opinion a penalty could be given against the attácking/ball carrying player for impeding the tackler by holding on to her jersey.
By all means red card DELIBERATE dangerous play, but not split second tackles like at 2:47.
I got elbowed and had my entire eye socket shattered. The ref missed it so I went to the hospital and the guy kept playing. Rugby is finally taking steps towards making the game safer.
Sorry about that. But isn't that, in part, what rugby's about? But not respecting opponent.
@@argiberico the guy elbowed me like a punch not in the play of the game. I was a winger and he chased me away from play back to my wing and hit me from behind. Definitely not apart of the game
@@argiberico wtf no? Sure it's a physical sport but that shouldn't involve getting fucking life altering or threatening injuries because someone either is reckless, has too much anger or is just too stupid/vindictive enough to intentionally cause harm.
@@Mystic_Apollo it shouldn't, but it surely gives room for it though
@@argiberico fucking idiot. It's a sport.
I don’t watch much sport, but the difference between rugby players getting carded and football players getting carded is remarkable, so much respect for the ref in rugby.
Lots of respect for the refs but there's a huge amount of players not understanding why they've got a red. Example 1:29... she's literally in disbelief that she just got sent off. Madness.
Football has alot to learn from rugby. There's no half the team crowding the ref after the whistle. The rugby refs calmy explains the reason for their ruling, something that almost never happen in football.
How does that old saying go?
Rugby is a thug game played by gentlemen, football (soccer) is a gentleman's game played by thugs.
I love how some of the perpetrators act all surprised when they get the red card.
Or hang back and try to look invisible. No. 14 springs to mind.
I think the hard crackdown on high tackles/contact is warranted. If you cant manage to tackle someone below the collar bone, you shouldnt be allowed on the field 🤷🏻♂️
That's abit harsh specially for taller players when they are set and in motion for contact.... And the person with the ball ducks into.... if you can see intent to hit high I agree 100%
@@abrahamhawkins1754 okay, look at Courtney Lawes. Over 2m tall and he still manages to lower himself enough to smash the smaller players. I do agree that the ducking into tackles are treated far too harshly when the tackler in question has little to no control over how their opponent moves
@@abrahamhawkins1754 intent shouldn’t matter if you start low. That’s the problem with a lot of taller players, they might not intend to hit high but they often make little attempt to get low beforehand
Most of the tackles were legit but the ref is over reacting
@@chonydeadman tw@t!
I was there when jelonch grabbed his face after getting hit by Koroibete, was the most disgusting red card ever. Perfect tackle by Marika and the French grabs his face 5 second after the hit.
Yeah makes me angry to watch, I'd have been furious as an Aussie fan. "No mitigation" when Koroibete's torso was literally horizontal. Jelonch was the one endangering himself by popping a squat. As a bonus, watching the replay I'm not even sure his head is directly hit.
100% agree. Also see my longer comment elsewhere about that exact tackle.
I understand the brutality of these tackles, but damn, the way literally every single one of the red card recipients just calmly walked off without making a scene is just mindblowing to me. Just look at football (soccer) and compare; the moment any of those big babies gets sent off, they make a fuse like a toddler not getting its way. Again, very unprofessional and outright dangerous tackles, but (some) props to them for al least owning it
Welcome to the wonderful world of Rugby. We fight like banshees when the laws allow us to do so. Then we roll way, run back onside to avoid the evil eye, and resume play. It is a game, we get that, it ain't life, not even close.
I wouldn't be surprised if half the rugby players who get red carded apologise to the ref. It's a brutal game but respect for the ref is taught from the outset. You call him Sir, you don't dispute decisions.
Unfair generalisation, agree with 95% of what you said, but if the red card is as blatent as some of these were, most footballers would walk off without causing a scene.
I just think as football has infinately more media attention, it is more noticeable when it does happen especially if its a high profile game. When/if VAR becomes as effective as TMO and also show in stadium live replays of the offence for late/dangerous/reckless tackles players would walk off more readily with less/no drama.
If a footballer objects to being sent off it should be an automatic 1 game suspension. Problem solved
I find southern hemisphere’s rugby culture seems to be much less happy to crack down on high challenges and dangerous play, not necessarily the refs but the commentators pundits and some players definitely reluctant to toe the line.
They just don't like players being sent off because the ball carrier ducked going into contact.
@@RubyDoobieScoo upright tackles and shoulder charges are a lot more common in the Southern Hemisphere though, unless we’re looking at Farrell of course 😉, and when the Southern Hemisphere produces the biggest and most powerful players that is something that really needs to be cracked down on, especially considering they arguably play at the very highest standard, specifically talking SA and NZ for that last part
@@RubyDoobieScoo I do agree with you on the ducking into tackles though. I’ve been pulled up a few times for a “high tackle” when I’ve had no control what happened.
Too many players using the 'he ducked' excuse, players bracing for contact will dip slightly so tackler have to reset their technique to take account of this, if you tackle at chest hight you're asking for trouble, 6-9 inches lower in the rib cage and the problem is solved.
This comment is so poorly written. “Much less happy”. That, and the fact that ‘Southern Hemisphere’ rugby has no hesitation to card someone for an offence. No clue where you got that info from.
The amount of Welsh players that have been hit with high tackles in the last few years is shocking
There’s alot of problems with players trying to clear out players from the ruck. They’ll have to go to League tackle and hold if they don’t get this area under control
High tackles, specifically upright tackles, and tackles without any attempt to wrap should be almost non existent at this level of play. If players at the most elite level can’t be trusted to tackle with basic technique and risk ending another players career then they shouldn’t be trusted to play at all. I know a lot of people will disagree with me here with a few of you probably be thinking “they know what they signed up for”, but my counter to that is this. They know they’ve signed on to the best clubs in the world playing at the highest standards possible where the basics should come as second nature, they haven’t signed on to miss weeks of gameplay because someone decides they can’t be arsed dropping their shoulder a couple more inches. Don’t get me wrong, removing head contact and injuries altogether in a sport like rugby is nigh impossible, and I think mitigating factors like players ducking their heads into tackles or players getting caught when they’ve stepped shouldn’t be treated as harshly as they are when it clearly wasn’t their fault, but reducing the frequency of head injuries is a must if we want to keep the sport growing and keep players careers going for as long as we can
There should certainly be additional sanctions for players who get more than one red card in a season. Perhaps a ban for 10 games, running into the next season.
All your paper talk sounds good until you play the game looking more like netball every day you only have a split second to react when I hear the ref say he lead with his head what a joke it’s a contact sport don’t play if you can’t handle it
@@lesmondk3376 I played the amateur game for exactly 40 years; final game was 1st team prop at 52. Broke leg (twice) broke a vertebrae, fingers, toes, shoulder, ankle, collarbone in that time. Countless concussions and pretty frequent blackouts when the scrums rushed at each other to engage. Now, I suffer physically and also through memory less; rugby? Can’t say for certain but it seems likely or, at least, rugby contributed.
Played dirty at times and got hit dirty at other times. Certainly no angel. Loved the aggressive part of the game. However, the reality is that all dirty play is because of a lack of quality from that player. If I headbut my oppo prop, it was because he was getting the better of me. If I was punched in the face, it was because I was succeeding in rucks where the oppo wasn’t. It was pretty tough for me to get airborne at my weight when catching a ball but I did once and was caught in mid air; result concussion and broken ankle. I can’t be certain but I don’t remember whether any of the other breakages were the result of dirty play; but I don’t think so.
The incidents shown here are either a deliberate attempt to injure or show a lack of quality in making illegal tackles. I suggest that most thinking (I’m almost in that category) rugby fans understand that there are many ways to get seriously injured playing rugby; deliberate violence and lack of quality shouldn’t be amongst them.
@@lesmondk3376 Try some punctuation - looks like you got hit in the head too many times.
The red card should extend to suspensions and loss of salary and if an illegal tackle injures the other player you are out as many games as the injured player is. If you end some ones carrer with an illegal hit minimum suspension of a full season. With Video evidence from so many angles this days is super easy to establish consequences even after the game is over by the league.
At least these men don't fake injuries and pain like footballers do
Indeed a hooligans game played by gentlemen🏉💪🏼
I stopped playing league when I lived in Australia after having two what should have been red card hits to the head not even acknowledged by anyone on the field. This was in the space of three games. At least one, likely both left me with concussion.
Well, that's league. Now it's also union. It wasn't like that before the laws got changed to make union more like league. It's all pick and go moves nowadays, big players colliding with each other, few attempts to avoid tackles. Even wings and full backs do it, killing any chance to shift the ball wide in counter attacks. And the laws have made it so that there is less kicking in the game, which means more running with the ball in hand, which means more tackles, which means more possibility of guess what? Head concussions!
Great video and with a song from Infraction | error just make it even more spot on
Safety first always 🙌🏾
The majority of those red cards should carry a mandatory 3 month ban and no salary. Too many of these cheap shot merchants attend a disciplinary hearing and are given a 4 week ban and then it's reduced by a week because it's a "first offence".
Great video mate keep it up
Thanks mate👍🏻 I might say you also have some great videos as well🤙🏼
The look on the red carded players faces are priceless, as if to say "who me?"
Medical evidence shows that the brain IS damaged by high impact sports. These blokes can play for 10 years or maybe more. When they retire they need to be able to tie their own shoes. Rugby is played by huge slabs of meat now and it is imperative to ensure players safety. The game has evolved and to ensure it is a viable sport we need to protect the players.
And they are highly compensated for such risks. You can't eliminate head knocks from the game, and I'm tired of punishments that are too severe for incidental head contact.
@@TheShepdawg9 accidentally hitting of heads as in the England test match I agree seem harsh. But it's about players knowing the laws and playing tough but fair.
@@TheShepdawg9 yes but high tackles, specifically upright tackles, and tackles without any attempt to wrap should be almost non existent at this level of play. If players at the most elite level can’t be trusted to tackle with basic technique at the risk of ending another players career then they shouldn’t be trusted to play at all
And if the people who are making and enforcing the new laws are allowed to prosper soon the match will be split into four quarters and one point will be alloted to any team who can get the round ball in the net ( oval ball was banned in 2022 after a player was struck in the eye by the pointy end) and high tackles were anything above the wasteline.
Average player weight is huge compared to 20 years ago, modern wingers are built like props of old but instead of being slow lumbering beasts they're faster than ever. Something has to give otherwise we're going to be left with a generation of young men with broken bodies and damaged brains who were forced into retirement before their 30s.
Agree with most of these 👌
Barrett what a grub...
The real dangerous thing that I see is that in most cases the red card comes after a TMO check, I see some of these hits every weekend in amateur level and sometimes is just too hard to see it for the ref with no chance to re check it, a bit to dangerous for us the amateur players
Don't you have teams of three with appointed referee and two assistants (also appointed by the authorities)? That would make your games safer by a long way.
2:55 Picamoles definitely has a Dairy Farm moment
The only sport where the refs actually explain what they saw. Much needed in all sports
- headbutting
- kicking
- punching
- forearming
- wristing
- slapping
- wrestling
- shouldering
- charging
- bicepping
The problem spells: LACK-OF-RESPECT!
Back in the days we played rugby for the pure fun of it. It was hard, but still fair and respectful.
Now adays lot of guys seem to think that rugby is a villain sport and it makes look like a tuff man ..
Somehow this ballgame seems to have lost its soul and it makes me sad.
Professional sport has never been played 'for the pure fun of it' though...
@@dereklawson1318 That's were it should begin! If not, you'll end up in the direction rugby is heading now adays ..
This is the most dangerous game in the world. And most crazy game
I find it funny these fellows are soooo amazed when they get given the red card. Each and every one of them CLEARLY knew what they did to deserve it but still feign amazement.
A lot of the issues are down to player education,when I learned the game the ideal was to tackle low.....but since then the tackles have got higher and harder,to the point where if you're not driving the player back or stopping them dead it's not considered "good"
TV coverage even highlights "dominant" tackles.
If you were to play a game against a team, and tackle low and lose 2m every single tackle you would lose the game by 50 points easily, regardless of how good you are.
I'm not saying the game shouldn't be safe, I want all players to be safe. But if you made all tackles say below the waist it would be ridiculous.
A huge part of the professional game now is possession sure but also territory. Teams will give away the possession with a kick just to pin their opponent back into their 22. If you then just allow the other team to run over you and make ground every single tackle you're just handing them a huge advantage.
More to it than that. There have been law changes intended to get more running in the game. So, less kicking. Less lineouts, less scrums. More pick and go moves from multiple phases and phony rucks with no real rucking, and more players running into contact instead of avoiding tackles. Defensive lines that never existed are another problem in the modern game. Line up and tackle by letting the offense keep the ball in those phony rucks. It's also boring to watch. More running, more tackles = more head concussions.
@@Loosehead Yes, and you wouldn't have seen that forty or fifty years ago, not even twenty. Highlights would have been Barry John or some other genius scampering around attempted tackles with sidesteps and swerves and touching down between the posts.
I taught my son to tackle low and tackle hard! he got red carded in a match by a ref who accused him of trying to take someones knees out! I understand they are trying to make the game safer! but! they are making it a game fairies may as well play these days!
Some of these red cards are overkill...
Change the rule at rucks, if you are clearing out a BOUND player, you also have to be bound. Stops players flying in from distance which is half these cards (clean outs)
I didn't think you could clean out anymore...90% of the time they put themselves offsides anyhow
Agree and agree. Go back to the law that existed prior to 2018, that players from both sides make up a ruck and at least one on the defensive side has to be bound on to a player on the offensive side, and at least three players then make up a ruck, including the tackled player on the floor who is supposed to release the ball immediately, as the law book still says, but is allowed this adjustment crap to present the ball to his/her side. And it's always been a law that contact has to be made under body control. Referees allowed that sort of dangerous out-of-control running into rucks and mauls and it should have been whistled, and sometimes was, for dangerous and foul play, but not nearly enough.
@@Maver1ck911 You can, but have to make contact above the knees, which means contact high can take place, though the player cleaned out isn't a ball carrier, obviously. So, it's illegal as of this year to clean out a player by going lower than the knees. I think it should be mandatory to have to bind on to the opposition to clean them out. That means no wild charging into those situations.
@@ldfreitas9437 it's been some years since college play but we definitely had to bind on to the downed ball carrier presenting and then from there join the ruck. Absolutely no flying over the ball to clean out defenders or enjoining side on
They all went to the the Owen Farrell School of Tackling.
Any one who wants to see rugby continue as a sport should applaud the red cards for dangerous play. It is difficult to get people to play a sport where basic safety measure and rules are not followed.
Cool
“A red card? You mean, I can’t kick another man in the face in this sport? I would have never imagined!” 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@wesleydonald6332 I’m talking about the instances where the airborne players foot is basically back touching the ground but then comes right back up to kick the opposing player in the face. You can say whatever you want, but to look stunned that you’re getting a red card for kicking another dude in the face is just plain stupidity
Given the head trauma issues in later life that seem in result from there kinds of incidents, they should almost certainly be erring on the side of caution, I wouldn't have thought anyone wants to end up with Alzheimer's or similar before 50 if they can avoid it
I agree. I would also say that many of the older players from the 1950s to the 80s, who played under different laws, haven't had the kind of issues that it seems players from the more recent decades have had with law changes, ironically some designed to make the game safer. Gareth Edwards seems totally okay. Barry John just seems to have a problem with too much drink. JPR Williams? Hell, he was a vicious tackler, but he seems fine too, and you know he had some head concussions. There is less kicking in the game since about twenty years or more ago. A player can't even retreat back into the 22 to make a touch finder anymore. So, that law change alone made for more running out of one's own half, and more running equals more tackles, equals more head concussions. That's how I see it.
Well, what does one expect when in the game in these last few decades, there is more multi-phase play and players with ball running into contact? The laws got changed to allow this to happen to the game. It's not like before, when rucking in particular was where dirty play could happen, though the injuries were mostly cuts, not head concussions then. There is no more rucking, mauls are legalized obstruction, and there are all these pick and go plays with lots of contact, much of it head to head. I played way back when. It was a different game. Head injuries were something not really worried about much. We tried to avoid tackles more than run into them.
Some of the contact in the rucks, yeah fair enough. But the forearm with the Welsh player and some of the others I question.
All the coco’s at it again..😂
Like they say: "The rules have changed". And it it has to. Because shoulder to the chin break someone's jaw and to head you get knocked out unconscious. Rugby is pshysical contact sport but it's not a sport to DELIBERATELY injure someone. So no one can argue.
I think binning the tackle bags in training would be an idea . Players are being conditioned to hit higher up . Also at rucks the ref should call ‘Over’ when the ball is at the back . It might stop clogger running miles to clout his opponent
Well, a referee needs to manage that situation. Warning players to stay onside is one thing to do. Another thing is players are supposed to be under bodily control while running into a ball carrier to make a tackle. That's an easy dangerous play to call if someone bashes a ball carrier and isn't under control doing it, and leaves the feet and dives to do so.
2:45 I went to that game and the Aussie player didn’t need a red card as the French player clearly faked an injury
same with the one that god Jordie sent of korabeti faked it and it was in no way intentional its how he was going to land safely
@@albie.betteridge big difference to Barrett being an ahole and intentionally kicking Marika in the face, to the French captain grabbing his face after getting hit on the shoulder.
It was great. Never heard the entire stadium come together as one with such disdain for the ref and for Jelonch. Defeating cries of bullshit heard all around Brisbane
@@albie.betteridge BULLSHIT! Look at the replay a few times-- he caught the ball in the air AND THEN LOOKED DOWN to the approaching tackler and DELÍBERATELY stuck his foot out.
@@auscowboy8950 100% agree, Barrett's foot in the face was DELIBERATE and potentially dangerous, the tackle on the French #8 wasn't a delíberate attempt to hurt or make head contact.
I played and loved this game for 25 years, at a reasonable level. I'm very glad I am no longer involved , with such cynical behaviour
you do know, what happening is this video, is not as bad as it was in the 70 and 80, or before that,
We see the same thing happening in American football, we call it head hunting.
The new targeting rules have helped get it closer to being under control.
Huge fines, ejections and suspensions seem to be working, still a ways to go though.
3:00 trying to tell me that aint worth a red card. late hit, player doesn't have the ball, swinging arm, high contcact
Because he is deemed in contact of the ball as it hasnt touched the floor or another player (or kicked) he is counted as still in possession of the ball however you are correct that it is a red due the height if the contact
Some of these aren't even safe for the tackler... Can't imagine what's going on through their minds to tackle in those ways
Steroids.
Rugby is one of my favorite sports and I love how the game is played, but I've noticed, through the years, it's getting a bit out of hand like the NFL here in America. I hope the sport continues to clean up and play a magnificent game.
I played when scrums crashed and everything short of a broken neck was fair game. I like the newer laws and faster pace of the game.
Some of these are debatable but the coat hanger, judo throw, headbutt, flying saucer, all the shoulders and stiff arms are sure fire reds, lots of aged and ageing players are experiencing early onset dementia sadly.
5:57, two red cards from the orange players before the black player is sent off. Crazy, i'd hate to be in that ruck. SO dangerous
Rugby League, the ballgame for hooligans outside of Australia .. ;-)
Broke my thumb last year playing rugby. Haven't gone back
I'd say many of these players are suffering from dementia already...obviously said that in jest but knowing what we know about the link between that terrible condition and these kind of hits you'd have to be crazy to play the game like that.
That punter got nuked,
I think that the red card at 3:00 wasn’t needed but I can see how it’s not safe for the neck
Few of these were pretty soft. 2:54 Mitigating circumstances, French player absolutely sold it. The FIjian 7 woman was clearing the arm tugging at her shirt, I see that in Men's Rugby constantly. 4:45 was also soft. These shoulder charges though need to stop, glad they're cracking down on them.
Disagree with your opinion on the women's match, those were 3 full hammerstrikes on the arm. That was over the line. Other 2 I agree with but safety took over on those.
@@christopherscoggins1772 hammer fists aren't very powerful, a bruised arm should not be a red card offence.
@@d.jparer5184 People get knocked out from hammer fists. Why you'd think a vertical strike isnt very powerful is beyond logical. Hammer a nail sideways then hammer one straight down and tell me where you get the most power.
I played from yr 2 to yr 7 and I had to stop due to a high tackle which broke three bones in my neck and 2 in my back and the ref didn't do anything but give us a free throw doctors say no rugby again because my neck will never be fully healed
Island's rugby that's what's happening...
Money!
notice who thmajority is being sent off
What on Earth is Happening in Rugby? Rugby has declared the neck and head is out of bounds. Adjust or move on. The only thing that is tragic is how slowly the current crop of players are adapting. It is quite simple, look at what you want to tackle and your body will follow, that is what defines you as an athlete.
All I can point out is that the laws about tactical replacements has given the boofs a chance to play our game. Now that's a stupid Law.
That might be the dumbest comment I've seen. Most of the head contact is incidental, no malicious intent whatsoever. How are the players meant to adopt when the pace of the game results in head knocks seemingly with the slightest shift in an offensive players movement? You obviously haven't played rugby before, because you'd know that most high contact incidents are unavoidable
@@TheShepdawg9 Master Shifu says: 'There are no accidents'.
Dude, don't you do major level philosophy?
Then how would you know dumb...
@@TheShepdawg9 I'd say currently 90% of red cards are players who are tackling upright with the hope of tackling man and ball and stopping them going forward and making ground. If you go and hit someone hard and in the ribs they will mostly go backwards but unfortunately at a high level players are being taught to tackle high, and which the strength and speed the players are playing at they really need to adapt and coaching needs to adapt quickly to go lower and find consistent tackle technique that stops man without needing to stand almost upright when making tackles. 30-40 years ago players were all smaller because rugby wasn't professional and players needed to work, now players are bigger and stronger than ever and head contacts are becoming more dangerous.
unfortunately many supporters are also walking away from the game due to the rules and referees destroying the game. Rugby is a contact sport and there should be a clear line between dangerous play and accidental foul play. If rugby continuous down this path it will die out as a major sport around the world. The way the laws are going at the moment rugby will become like soccer with players diving in hopes of getting an opponent sent off. I have given up watching rugby as the game is not determined by the players any more but rather by the officials.
@@francoisvanwyk5355 How about some numbers dude?
Perhaps the game will lose some who would prefer gladiators rather than warriors. Rugby remained popular despite its insistence on Amateurism, it is now played on every continent, women are presenting a watchable version (especially at the scrums), the WRC is in the top 5 of sporting events; and League, the more brutal variation, is not matching pace in the slightest. It may even be shrinking; I am hearing less about their criminal convictions these days.
Here's the kicker question: How many advertisers are walking away? A: Fewer than are signing up. Rugby has an aura.
Something to think about. Regardless, still the best sport in the world
The australia France one at 3.00 was ridiculous, the French guy should’ve got a red for faking and disgrace to the game
Toso viti
I personally thing that it is going to take some time for players to adjust to the new rules. It might even take an entire generation of new players to come in before we will see the amount of yellow and red cars going down again. Every player has to get used to the new rules, adjusting their playstyle and the way they approach contact.
Some seriously stupid stuff going on very justified red cards. Only one I was doubtful on was the slim winger #14 running with ball in hand leading with forearm. Ref said it was an elbow to the face but it wasn't. Mind you if he was the size of Lomu, Nonu or one of the Tualagi brothers leading with a forearm it could be considered dangerous so maybe it was the right call. What do others think?
🇫🇯🇫🇯🇫🇯🇫🇯🇫🇯
Bring back the shoulder charge
As nasty and silly as some of these hits are, let's just be pleased that the boys being hit don't fall down and roll around protesting in fake pain like footballers do. They just fall and take it.
apart from jenlonch at 2:50
Most of the tackles were fine, it’s the ref that is having to make these stupid decisions based on the rules of what is deemed dangerous. Rugby is a contact sport lets not turn it into touch rugby
@@chonydeadman Insane comment.
Yeah what are you talking about skip to 2:50
Hahaha all the NZ players doing their shocked reactions when the cards come out.
Yeah, lost a tooth, torn shoulder,.....foot shattered by someone jumping and stamping on my foot after i had tackled them.....yeah he got away with a yellow and it ended my career
I was taken out in mid air years ago and went to hospital and if this was in then the tackler would of been red carded
Look at football, before it went professional? You never had the blatant disrespect for the referee and you showed respect to your opposition. There was also no football hooligans, no need for separate stands and seating area for the opposite team as all mingled in the crowd. Money ruined football.
Now what's happened to rugby? Exactly the same. They turned it professional in the 90's. Before then, people had jobs. Rugby was a secondary part of their life, an entertainment. It wasn't the be all and end all of their existence but now it is. So, with bonuses for winning, sponsorship deals, people jacked up on steroids, tattooed, very likely doing MMA as well, then the level of aggression isn't necessarily higher than it was, but what is higher is the lack of CONTROLLED aggression. Let's not forget though that rugby has always been a brutal sport. All you have to do is look back to the British & Irish Lions tour of May in 1974. That was insanely brutal. I'm amazed no one killed JPR Williams as he was a marked man!
Money is killing rugby, as it killed football and it kills all sports. There's very little love of the game and respect for you opposition as there used to be and again, money is to blame for that, or should I say the 'pursuit' of it.
a lot of these fouls are allowed in American Football, but this is rugby
Sport is healty ..... 😂😂😂
This movie was brought to you by Pacific Islands Boys company
13 reds cards the refs got right. I thought a couple should have just been yellow cards and couple should have not been a card at all. The biggest thing I want World Rugby to give the Refs a chance to be able to use common sense.
Only way to stop it
But the difference is the players on red don’t get in the refs face and argue it like Pansy footballers 😂
There was nothing wrong with figi 7s woman. Someone was holding on to her
I'd say 80-90% of those involved an out of control tackler or a tackler making no effort to actually tackle. Red cards are entirely justified. Head contact happens in rugby and many incidents are put down to the nature of the game. But there are also plenty of incidents where the tackler or opponent makes no effort to obey the laws, intentionally or unintentionally.
I wish they would get rid of the red card make yellow max punishment in the game but have players on report and they can have stand downs for dangerous tackles etc but don't let it affect the game that is being played any more than a yellow kills the game
Thugby. Season/career-ending tackles but thugs.
I still believe red cards must be 10 to 20 min, and a sub must take the players place after 10 or 20 min. The Rugby panel can discuss match bans ect after the game. Red cards with permanent send off mess up the whole game for me. If your team wins, it feels like it doesn't count because it was againts 14 players, Lose, because you only had 14 players. It takes to much away from the game. The team should only be penalised for 10 to 20 min, the individual can get penilised further after the game.
@Out the Gate i dont agree with the "better game of rugby"
Modern rugby now has terrible flow... also: as the rules are written, the ball carrier can easily lead with the head and cause issues... the tackler who if is a bigger person is screwed...
alot of cards in 2022 are not currect and require a large degree of common sense, the Replays also need to be shown in real time. because things dont happen at 1/10 speed on the field..
Also how does soccer get on? its part of their game to get smashed in the head...
Tribesmen you see?give them time!😁
What's the problem most of the instances of red card's in the video show a disregard for the safety of the player being "tackled" the intent is to effectively take a player out of the game, if you are in possession of the ball you are more vulnerable, it's imperative to protect the ball carrier's before the thug's ruin the game. As to the ball carrier just because you have ball does not mean you can conduct dangerous actions against tackler's, your not immune to care of safety of fellow player's, it's a tough game played by gentlemen, let's keep it that way.
Whatever happened to tackling around the legs, Modern rugby has changed for the worse with all this focus on making a dominant tackle
the game evolved too much, you cant tackle around the legs at your own try line...................... duh.
how are you ment to clear a ruck? you dont have a choice you have to make shoulder height contact... the rules are dumb -We are going to end up with a "play the ball" like NRL.
@@MrSupermugen Get lower. All Blacks never had a problem with getting fast ruck ball in the old days. Where did I say about going low on your own line, of course you’d have to go higher than to wrap the ball. Courtney Lawes has never been carded for a high shot in the modern game. Go round the waist but if you try and hit the chest, you’re going run the risk of getting red card and lose your team the game. Is that worth it?
so how the hell are you suppose to clear the ruck? the opponents head points towards you, do you have to turn your back and clear with your ass?
😂😂
Is this a serious question?
@@Gilescowdemdem the ref said its a clear head on head with the ruck cleanout. So what does he want from the players? How do you clear out a ruck without going in head first? if this is really the way this is heading, then soon they will ban ruck cleanouts. Cause it will always be head on head. Or they will have to give 20 yellow and red cards per game
@@RabbitholeIsrael prettty simple...don't smash your head into another players head. Clear out like every other player does 99% of the time, which is legally.
It's not difficult. You have to lead with your arms (not your shoulders) and you have to make contact with something other than the head or neck.
That Australia vs France sending off was a disgrace i watcheda that live and the French man made a meal of it and should be on football pitch and ashamed of himself
I will tell you..... They fucking it up.
Rules are opening it up to diving like in football.
many of those tackles would be in "Rugbys big hits" videos go watch some old state of origin matches
I Can understand accidental clash of heads but the targeted hits, shoulders to head high tackles, hard to understand when every player knows the long term damage these hits do. The thugs that do this should be banned from the game.
Should rename the video "When professional Rugby Players don't know how to tackle".......... It's not rocket science, but some of these guys, obviously have learning difficulties?
0:55 To be fair, though, Angus Gardner is a sh*t referee.
It is very simple really... the red card in some instances should be followed with suspension and loss of salary not just for the rest of the game. If you injured another player from an illegal hit and that player can't play in the next games you are out as many games as the injured player and loss of income.
Most or all are of ages ago. Newer regulations red card even to the point of banded for life. Red cards are handed out a lot more vigorously than just 2 years ago. Watch what happened in last year's All Blacks vs Argentina.
Seems pacific nations are more often culprits of high tackles and on purpose too. - still, everyone knows the rules, if you try and get away with cheating then you and the team pay the price. A lot of these were deliberate, so no, ‘oh well it’s a physical game there’s always a risk’ doesn’t cut it, these players have families and want to go home safely. If you think differently then you haven’t been hit in the head by a 20 stone man a full tilt.
I was reluctant to say it since I'm white and afraid of being called a racist, but yes, a lot of the Pacific Island players are deliberately nasty, dirty players and a bunch of fuckups.
Rugyy league defenses systems have been rampant in union since the days of wasps winning the European cup. The tackle technique naturally developed from here. It was then seen in almost all rugby Union leagues and international rugby followed suit. Namely Wales, Ireland and more recently France.
The problem is not all of these are, or should be, red cards. It's hard to respect a referee when it looks like a yellow card (eg. unintentional, marginal, other player actually caused the contact), particularly when a red card means a team is reduced to 14 players for the rest of the game. I wouldn't have an issue with about 3/4 of these being called a red card - that says we're serious without saying we've lost the plot.
100% agree with you. Also see my longer comment elsewhere.
majority were warranted but a few were a bit soft, especially the womans one. she was deliberetly grabbing the jersey so what else are ye gona do there but try slap the arm off? jordies one was dirty no need to have the foot that high. some tasty hits in there tho 💪
