Ah shit biscuits.

Hilerous

That's got to be a red. I reckon might well also mean Curry is a red as they just taken the easy option and punish both teams.

Edit: And there we go.

Damn, really surprised.

That's a ridiculous red.

He was dropping out the sky there. It's such a dynamic situation in real time

It'll be 14 each, if we don't see any more cards, which we probably will

That aged badly stunningly quickly

At least the 90 seconds was an improvement

Thats a ridiculous red, he was falling out of the fucking sky...

And that’s a shocking penalty call there. England were all over that ruck. Should have been English penalty.

What's the world record for red cards in successive intl games?

I think you find that it will be the worst thing to ever happen on a rugby pitch when our bored experts have a look

Every little helps

I think I might watch international RL, I’m getting used to seeing England with 13.

We're only 14 minutes in, that'll change...

Gobsmacked that it is red. It was a head clash from a catcher landing from a big leap.

Red card is a joke for that
Our game is ruined by those ridiculous law interpretations

I thought the red was harsh.

I wonder how hard it is for players who have been trained in the "dominant hit" era to unlearn an entire career of chest high shots?

Old school mark called for there.

Watched it again a few times, it is a red, doesnt matter if he is coming down from a catch, his feet were on the ground and he went in upright head on head, fairly straightfoward call.

Just a yellow for Argentina. Actually fair call IMO

Has anyone used the; "one for the purists", line yet ?

Very hard I imagine. And the sumo-ball defensive influence has certainly made it worse. Thing is, they will have to unlearn. Eng remain serial offenders to maybe need so work harder at it.

That’s how I see it too

Only a yellow for the Argie.

Harsh red, surely the mitigation is that the Argentinian was in the air, and Curry couldn't know exactly where he'd hit him?

Yellow for head contact caused by him, but the red is a harsh call.

What the fuck was that kick about, Earl? Worried Bofthwick will be cross we hadn't kicked it earlier?

Still time for Lavanini to even it up.

Agreed.

Ford should have stayed down as cards are awarded on outcome. No way Sexton would have got up immediately.

Completely supporting his weight there

That's bullshit.

One was a split second head on head as the player dropped out of the air (and Curry was possibly obscured as he arrived on the scene), gets a red. Whilst the Argie 10 has a massive run up, arrives late, jumps, turns his back, and manages needlessly to smash his opposite number with a cheap shot to the head, arse first or not, and bowl him over. Only a yellow.

Absolute nonsense decision and consistency.

Superb kick.

England just shipped it down the line.

Sexton would still be down holding his head. Priest would be out reading him his last rites.

For a far more dangerous act than Curry.

He's still holding it from that Romanian's tackle.
