I hope lambie is okay, but that's a horrendous call. If it was Dublin, it wouldn't have been a red. Awful Ref

Jano Du Toit

harsh or not - it's dangerous play and the jumping player is responsible for his actions and to avoid the player.

Tom Barton

Ireland really looked to be in with a chance, not any more. Was dangerous play at the end of the day and a crucial mistake, best wishes to Lambie

Tom Field
Tom Field 8 years ago

That's an awful decision and no he doesn't have to avoid the player as he was in the air before he kicked it

Ben Scullion

Raynal is a joke never a fed a yellow would have been harsh

Maurice O'Driscoll

He was jumping to block down the ball how's that a red?

Frank Fogarty
Frank Fogarty 8 years ago

And from my view it does seem like stander has jumped too late for it to a proper charge down, and doesnt charge down with hands up as per a usual chargedown

Amie Hedges
Amie Hedges 8 years ago

How is he meant to avoid the player mid air???? He went for charge down.. terrible decision. Imagine if he hadn't turned. Could've been worse.

Chris Matthews

Terrible decision. Based on the impact, not the infringement, as has been mentioned above.

Frank Fogarty
Frank Fogarty 8 years ago

Yeah he can't avoid, but turning in the air made it the worse possible outcome, as standers hip collided with lambies head. If he stayed front on it could have been a more controlled Collision with lambie in standers softer stomach

Zak Facer

French refs 🔫

What thes the point of having a TMO if they're gonna make those decisions

Odhran Crowley-Carbery
Odhran Carbery 8 years ago

The ref should only give a red if he believes the intent was only malicious, there was clearly none, poor refereeing will kill this game.

Shauna Ní Dheoráin

Atrocious decision!

Patrick O'Connor
Patrick O'Connor 8 years ago

The Ref has lost the plot
He is referring Ireland only
Not a red card for CJ
Home town decisions prevail - regretfully

Matthew Williams

French refs are shite

Camilo Lemos

Ridiculous decision, shouldn't even have bern a yellow. Stander could not have avoided the collision and clearly had no malice. Ref playing for the home crowd.

Gareth Owens

CJ Fitz Patrick
CJ P. 8 years ago

Not good decision from Stander or ref. It was high and late but in context of game should have been yellow and a stern warning

Tom Read
Tom R. 8 years ago

Should have never been a red. Should have been a yellow for reckless play but no more. He went for the charge down and as he jumped, realised it was not on. So that is why he didn't try. As for those who say that he should have avoided the player, how? He is a big lad up in mid air, in the short time he had, there was no way he could have tried to avoid him!

Simon Paul

Intent is not taken into consideration despite what Alan Quinlan thinks on Sky Sports. Outcome is what makes the decision an easy one. Straight red!

Jordan Sutton
Jordan S 8 years ago

Hogg did something similar a couple of years ago and got a red. Seems like it was the right choice but I don't think it should of been

Some rugby decisions the refs and officials don't put themselves in the players shoes and think that they have control over everything

Like some have said the injury outcome of things like this make the pulling of cards. Soon we'll be seeing players diving around pretending to be injured like in soccer
