English referee showed the second red card at the Rugby World Cup when he dismissed Facundo Gattas during Georgia’s 33-7 win against the South Americans.
He was shown red for a shoulder straight to the head in the tackle.
Wow! A red card for that tackle. Minimal contact to the head with the upper part of the shoulder, & I mean minimal. Commentary team justifying the decision too. I’m a little perplexed by it but if the RFU deem that head-high then so be it. I guess 🤷♂️ #GEOvURU #RWC2019 pic.twitter.com/3XOp9cLaT2

SOCIAL REACTION:
These kneejerk red cards after clear shit TMO decisions r getting twp. Yesterday’s was obviously high, this one was an assisted tackle on an angle with a TMO that refused to give an opinion while yesterday was the opposite.

Good refereeing again from Wayne Barnes. You could here he didn’t want to give a red. But still gave it as per the rules. #GEOvURU pic.twitter.com/hlGLw7QFjp
