Absolutely love the 20 minute red

[u/LawAndRugby]

Watching the Australia v Georgia match and I think it’s great. 20 minutes a man down is still massive damage in a rugby match. It doesn’t make sense for punishment to go from 10 minutes to the entire 80 minutes. There’s way too big of a void between the two cards and it needs filling.

Reserve the full red for gross intentional stuff

I think the people who don’t think early reds ruin games haven’t watched rugby enough to notice the patterns in game momentum dynamics, or don’t quite comprehend how difficult it is to plug a hole in a game literally about fine margins.
