Come on lads. Come on. It’s a bloody accident.

Doesn’t matter if he meant it,he’s left his feet so he’s responsible for making a clean landing and he hasn’t.Same way head contact in the tackle is red now,even when it’s not intentional. It’s players responsibility to avoid this and unfortunately red cards are the way to learn

Intent or otherwise not relevant any more. It’s reckless and very dangerous. Not sure the ref had any option.

Agree it's an accident, but it's also a red card.

Bollocks it was. Totally un-natural action with the exaggerated drive-down with his leg there. Looks to me like he knew exactly what he was doing.

Maybe if Irish players released the player after the tackle he wouldn't have been lying there in the first place!

Poor call

Reckless. Has to be red under current protocol.

Absolutely agree but reckless?

He is caught by a stray boot himself, when cleaning out the ruck, putting him off balance. Mitigating circumstances surely as there is no intent. Hope there are no serious injuries to either player.

There’s either a fury of care around head contact Or there isn’t It wasn’t intentional It was clumsy Still red for me
