Complete bullshit. Aaron Smith to the bin for a deliberate knock-down. IMO he tried to catch it.
Disagree. He's just stuck a hand out with no realistic chance to catch the ball. PK for sure, and given the context a YC is fair.
Sux though.

And who says bitching and moaning about the referee after games has no effect ....
Yes, but the red card was 100% correct

Can't really argue with that I'm afraid.
Didn't we see that exact thing get reversed yesterday? Player goes for intercept, can't catch it due to opposition tackle/knock. Knock on.
Not exactly the same. In the other example the player was a semi realistic chance to catch the ball. Personally I thought the other one might have been a PK as well, but it was marginal.

Fully expect to see Naholo sent off here for no arms in the tackle too!
Ha!! I was taking the piss, but Clarke has actually just suggested it!!!!!

@bones said in Waratahs v Highlanders:
@damo how can you tell he wasn't going to catch it from that split second?
Because he thrust his hand out with force and whacked it forward.
My view may not be popular in all quarters, but I maintain that is and should be a PK, and in the correct context a YC.

Yeah I really can't judge how you can say he wasn't going to catch it. Penalty at best, no way its a card. Isn't card usually only brought out if it's a pressing attacking chance (e.g. Try beckoning)
