Zander Fagerson red card: Social media split over decision

13 February 2021

Scotland prop Zander Fagerson came in from a distance to clear out Wyn Jones, who was trying to win the ball, and made contact with the Wales prop’s head.

It’s not as clear cut as Peter O’Mahony’s last week. There will be a lot of debate around it.

Consistency.

Absolutely brainless from Fagerson

Another red card, Scotland prop Fagerson this time. Wales up against 14 for second week running. Ran in and made contact with the head

@RugbyRefsUnion I think the new rules are ruining the game… that should never be a red to Zander Fagerson… absolute joke. Matt Carley is also a shit referee generally and should be sacked..

My opinion- Fagerson made contact with a head that was on the way up, O'Mahoney made contact with a head that was sinking to his shoulder level. For me the former had less excuse. #SCOvWAL #SixNationsRugby #Wales
