Harlequins Nick Evans being added to the England coaching team for the 6 Nations.

Appears as if he’s well respected as an attack coach. Always thought he was insightful and spoke well as a pundit.

but the inconsistency is ridiculous.
Yep, considering some if the ones we saw for head clashes last year, guys who were going lower than that were getting carded.

The force in the collision is all coming from the thug carrying the ball. Sexton absorbs it and carefully guides the attacker to ground while giving up territory. Text book example how to defend.

Another ugly hit by Owen Farrell yet again. I doubt he'll get much of a ban though.
Owen Farrell's poor tackle technique is a big problem for Steve Borthwick
Farrell's indiscretion is the latest in a litany of dangerous tackles that have accumulated seven weeks' worth of bans in total

@Dan543 accidental knock, or foul play as they like to call it, they can go back, and do so regularly, or was that one of the rule tweaks?
Not sure, that's all I heard, was ref asking if it was same phase, so wondered if there a tweek or just in that comp.

That explains the tweet I've just seen by Nigel Owens saying about how there's no phase limit for foul play, you can go right back to the start of play if you want.

One rule for Owen Farrell, one rule for everyone else who plays Rugby.

It’s not a simple one by any means, mainly because there is the understandable perception that he’s been getting away with a shitty tackle technique for too long. However, in isolation the sanction isn’t out of court considering that he’s not been sanctioned for over two years. Note, I am not saying this is right, just that it isn’t that unusual. The interesting thing will be how it is determined what the “meaningful matches” are that he has to miss.

hat he’s not been sanctioned for over two years
To not get a red/red card threshold for over 2 years is gold standard? Nope, IMO he's got previous, time doesn't matter.

As I said mate, it’s not that I think it’s right but there is enough precedent to make it unsurprising. As I also said, the perception of his previous is not valid if not sanctioned.

The problem isn't that he has form for this, it's that he hasn't been in front of the judiciary as he should to have developed a documented punished pattern of behaviour.
