Quote: mdean "Doesn't please me to say it, but I called this 2 or 3 games and I doubt we will appeal. I can't see what the grounds for appeal are. Precedent is not a defense sadly, it is sport not court.
There was head contact, regardless of how that came about and as such there should be a hearing.
Having had previous tackling technique questions shall we say, then there was unlikely to be a "no action".
I am a Cas Fan, from Cas, the player protection agenda is dearest to RL hearts at the moment, it has nothing to do with anti-cas or hearing prejudiced I am afraid. It was unlucky regarding the contact point, previous record is considered and it had to be dealt with on video becuase there was not action in the game. If he had been sanctioned in the game, then an extra penalty is not necesary.'"
sensible post what are you doing on an RL forum.
Rangi needs to be careful in the future re tackling techniqe. And whether it is fair or not he needs to be a bit more careful. Good player who needs to work hard now to improve his repuatationl
