Rugby Red Card



And so the controversy wrangles its way thru th’ 
post-match tumescence - there is this obligatory 
insistence that referees and TMOs need heed an 
on-field review with less stringency, and the ‘red’ 
card resolution adopted only as a last resort - all 
of course expressed by th’ losing team: thus it’s 
open-slather on a matter where the rule is clear, 
& player safety paramount; it suggests clarity is 

now needed on setting penalties for outbursts o’ 
such rancorous crap as French centre, Geoffrey 
Doumayrou, expressed to AFP news agency, & 
published in L’Equipe; tho if we believe his view 
the scene became a 12th minute conspiracy to 
deny France their chance o’ a deserved victory 

Meantime the injured player holds his tongue
