“The independent Judicial Committee found that sending off was a sufficient sanction in this case because the player was sent off for two yellow cards,” World Rugby said.

“The first of those yellow cards was for a technical offence following a team warning,” it added.

“Appendix 4 at B 2(c) provides that: “The … judicial committee may decide that sending off was sufficient … in the following circumstances … (c) any of the temporary suspensions were awarded for so-called technical offences (including following a team warning) not involving a breach of laws 9.11 to 9.28 inclusive.


Sanity prevails, this is consistent with their rulings on other double yellow cards.


A few wee chaps on this board may be upset so let's hear it:P

It's the right decision.

Good luck JW!

Thanks Rooi, that whole game was a wakeup call for the whole team and especially Barrett.

Not a red, but a fair yellow, so a fair outcome...but I love the snot en trane from the Kiwis when the boot is on the other foot...

Last World Cup we had Eben  pulled into a fracas down our West Coast. Almost ruined his attendance.

Locks are paramount in the World Cup. No team has won it without imposing themselves at the lock position.
