WRWC Final - NZ Vs England

@Crucial yeah I really struggle with the protect the head at all costs mentality with Cards, but on the other side, they have just penalised someone, YC'd them or RC'd them for a head contect, yet the number of times the player on the receiving end of the contact doesnt go off for an HIA...if an incident is deemed to be enough to penalise a team for a head contact then it is surely enough to do an HIA straight away rather than 5 mins later
-
@Crucial so you name your 23, but then you also have another "bench" of red card replacements. RC replacements and your normal bench are nominated for certain positions.
If you have to use an RC replacement (for a red card after 20 mins) then you can't use a normal bench player who is nominated to cover a position the RC replacement covers.
Essentially, red carded player is replaced by ideally a 3rd/4th in line player and the 2nd in line player (on the bench) can go have a shower with the red carded player.
Which could also be televised.

@Bones so we have 31 inc those sitting on the bench, but 8 of them sitting, waiting, only able to enter the game if one of thier team mates to get a RC....
-
Just keep the red card for thuggery (eye gouging and other grub acts) and some other colour (fuckit, Blue card) for head contact in tackles/rucks etc. Specific card for the accidental head contact that they want to reduce. Have that at 20mins, and if the players technique doesn't improve bump it up to 30mins the next year.
Leaves the onus on the coaches and players to solve the issue, doesn't ruin the game for the fans, has actions to protect the players and address the hilarious NH opinion that 20min red cards will have players running around like the love child of Richard Loe and Troy Flavell.

@taniwharugby I reckon 27/28 would cover it.
Prop/hooker
Other forward
Two backsOr maybe one prop, one hooker and the rest.

Frankie Harvey appears to be That Rugby Girl on twitter.
"There's a men's English team somewhere, that just watched the women's rugby cup final and has just decided they're sick of Eddie, stuff pre-match training, and aren't going to cheat in the game next weekend because the All Blacks still have that aura."

@nostrildamus sometimes your words are an enigma, wrapped in an enigma.
