Makes it look even sillier that this was a mid entry point with reductions for remorse, apology and good behaviour. Tarnished his legacy.

I heard he got good conduct because he didn’t try to poke the members of the panel’s eyes out.

Well, he didn’t rip out an eyeball and start eating it so maybe mid-level is right?

I’m curious to know what you’d have to do for this to start at high level. Guess it’s mid because he didn’t rip out an eyeball and eat it?

A 6 match mitigation is ridiculous in the context. Don’t think you should ever really be able to argue good conduct when you’ve stuck your thumb in somebody’s eye and squeezed.

Translation: Nobody wanted to give us the chance of playing the World Cup so we’re just going to stick our heads in the sand for now and hope the problem solves itself when the World Cup is over.

You make a lot of sense but I’m not sure Ireland’s lineout could get much worse 🤦🏻

And if you’re already being killed in a scrum it’ll be penalty on first engagement infringement. Easily. If a ref thinks it’s cynical, it’ll be a card.

My point still remains you can’t call a maul after a penalty in a maul. That’s the difference with scrums. If you keep calling scrums on scrum penalties and where a referee has already decided the infringing party, you will get cards.

Compared to other set piece, the scrum gives a great opportunity to manufacture cards.
In a set piece that is so difficult to officiate and requires such subjectivity, I personally think the scrum is open to abuse going forward.
You’re very welcome to disagree. 🙏

Again, I appreciate your point but I don’t agree.
1) your suggestions re the scrum likely result in a penalty; and
2) of course its reactionary, if nobody reacted to anything in the sport the laws would stagnate.

With anything else, there are opportunities for teams to get themselves out of a hole (winning a lineout, forcing a knock on) but if a team has a really dominant scrum, within the current laws, they can keep resetting until you’re playing against 14 men.

You can’t just call a maul after a maul penalty. You have to get the lineout, successfully win it, set up the maul and then cause the pressure.
