Yellow: Farva. Not Yellow: Peyper, Barnes, Cheika, Hanson. He went past the horizontal but there were mitigating factors. The sensible decision was made. It was a welcome change to the usual handing out of cards like candy. I think it's hard to argue that technically it wasn't a yellow. Just most p...

There's a pretty fundamental concept in modern Western society getting lost in this, and that is that a person does not have a right to the body of another.

Kearns is only “laddish” when his teams are winning. Incredibly sour when they’re not (and frequently just plain wrong. He dialled it up to 11 in the Irish series.

Put it this way: if a Wallaby player made a tackle like that and avoided a yellow card, to be honest I'd be surprised. But I'd also think it was a "common sense" decision and support the decision.
