English referee Matt Carley has faced accusations of bias towards Wales, particularly for a period of play where the official gave four penalties in four minutes and no card. Andrew Trimble, Alun Wyn Jones and Rob Kearney support those claims.
That red yesterday was a joke.
There was zero intent and it wasn't even a tackle or a cleanout.
It's was simply someone moving in an unpredictable direction in a weird incident.
There has to be an amount of recklessness for a red. There was zero in that incident.

I have never seen so many cards handed out in all the time I've been following the game. I've never gone into tests expecting multiple yellows and the potential for reds. My expectation for the Bok game are two yellows and a potential red for repeat offences. It's quite strange, given that rugby has never been more soft. Is this another step in the agenda to pussify men?
