@rugbypass: That’s how you referee 👏#rugby

harryprobs :

Correct decision. Very unnatural position! If you think it’s not a red then you don’t know the laws of rugby.

yourmumspal :

Every player respects the ref in rugby…… football , take note …. It would be a better game …..

barrys_72 :

Foul play? Nothing intentional there...

Ray :

The standard's in Rugby referee's should be applied to football. They are brilliant.

loosewheelnut81 :

Instant red. But fair play to the ref taking his time and allowing the team to come to the right decision.

Heyitsmeagain🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 :

Rugby referees are the best in world sport

Grimster82 :

this is how VAR should be used

Hayden :

It’s deffo a red but I don’t think it’s intentional I think he was simply trying to rotate him self so he lands on his feet rather than on his side

Boss1975 :

Should have been a straight red!

user4934439416763 :

FIFA, refs and players watch and learn

Farid Azizi J. :

is that how you jump to catch ball? 100% foulplay

Puppy Zwolle :

Even if it was accidental. You have the duty to NOT have this happen. Accidents like this are avoidable. That's why this is a foul.

kneadedmassage :

what's awesome is that 14 &23 gave each other kindness, not anger.

Rugby referees are the best in world🏉👏

CJR♤☣️🏍🔧🔩⚙️ :

Thats good ref, not feeding any angry emotions towards players which only making it more worse.

Depoet :

And the players just remained calm . Football on the other side 🤦🤦🤦

cabra_cba :

después de la amarilla provisoria viene una revisión de posible roja. entonces ratifican o rectifican la decisión

GordyMac56 :

refs aren't corrupt in rugby, var officials aren't corrupt in rugby. Officials do for the good of the game not for the love/dislike of a team like football. Rugby officiating will always be above football for non corruption.

c'est rouge c'est volontaire

Simon Jones3906 :

Definitely brilliant referring and use of the TMO - VAR needs to be used exactly like this, as it’s not fit for purpose and is a total embarrassment currently.

T137 :

I wish NBA referees were able to handle calls like these rugby refs

Jors :

Oscar winner. This is rugby, not soccer

subwolfnzl :

Anyone saying it’s unnatural clearly hasn’t ever tried to balance themselves when they are off balance in the air. You can see it in the way he lands. Also his eyes were on the ball in the air, at no point did he even glance at the opposing player.
