Re: Reece Hodge cited

Re: RWC: Pool D: Wallabies vs Flying Fijians: MATCH THREAD
Right. I guess that there needs to be some logic. If the punch misses the bloke is just an idiot. Part of the reason he was concussed was that he went in very hard noggin first. If he had tried to go around we would not even be having this conversation. Surprisingly, mostly for him, he came off sec...

Shoulder to head with force. Nonsense. This was reviewed by all the on field officials and none of them even thought it was a penalty.

On second look it was definitely red card. Went in with shoulder to head. Sorry, but Hodge didn't 'go in' with anything.
