I will stand by the fact the post was moronic but apologise for calling TB a moron. I would suggest he comes with me to tact school as opposed to tackle school which as OF has proved is plainly useless.

World Rugby will appeal against the decision to overturn the red card given to England captain Owen Farrell against Wales. Farrell's yellow card was upgraded to red by the new 'bunker' review system after a high tackle. A disciplinary panel reviewing the incident on Tuesday found mitigating factors and overturned the dismissal. World Rugby said in a statement confirming the appeal that "player welfare is the number one priority". If World Rugby is successful, Farrell would miss a chunk of England's World Cup pool stage games. Farrell became the first England player to receive a red card from rugby's new 'bunker' review system after he made a high tackle on Taine Basham during England's 19-17 win over Wales last week. An independent judicial committee (IJC) then rescinded the 31-year-old's dismissal, clearing him to play a key role for England at the upcoming World Cup. But now an Independent Appeal Committee will be appointed to determine the matter at the earliest possible opportunity. The statement said: "World Rugby fully supports the important role that an independent disciplinary process plays in upholding the integrity and values of the sport, particularly regarding foul play involving head contact. "Player welfare is the sport's number one priority, and the Head Contact Process is central to that mission at the elite level of the sport." Further details regarding the hearing, including appointments and date, will be confirmed by Six Nations Rugby. England face Ireland on Saturday in Dublin and then Fiji on 26 August at Twickenham in two final warm-up matches before their opening World Cup game against Argentina on 9 September in Marseille. |

Ref gives a yellow.
Match day official adjudication raises it to red Hearing reduces it to yellow. Governing body try to reinstate the red. World rugby sink below some African country electoral processes through this mess. |

I think he was treated leniently of course but they have made decision get on with it when will it end with WR appealing winning then Farrell appealing against the appeal. The only people who make money are the lawyers while the games admin and reputation is in tatters.

Or even below the USA if you believe Trump. Two good posts gents. Alex Popham has just spoken about what Message the Farrell incident sends to youngsters . He has got away time and again, with reckless play ,in and around the tackle area and the Wales v England game, was just another example.. He will continue to do the same, unless he gets punished and banned, just like a naughty schoolboy. As for the authorities, they are an embarrassment. There has to be 100% clarity now regarding head collisions and tackle technique. Its the responsibility of players and those running the game to ensure that potential danger , with players, now athletes, fast , powerful and immensely strong. HEAD COLLISIONS COULD PROVE LIFE CHANGING , AND EVEN FATAL. It's proven ,that brain injury and early onset dementia can be caused by these collisions. The risk is huge. I am a carer for my wife, who has a form of early onset dementia, and I have to most of the thinking for both of us. I also have a family member playing rugby at a high level, ahd I worry that she could end up like her mum. I love rugby ,and the Scarlets are embedded in the very fabric of my DNA, but life goes on, after rugby. The sooner people deal,with individuals like Farrell, it will hopefully send a message out to others, and we will make some progress. I don't think he is wilfully going out to hurt people, but that not the point.Owen Farrell has a poor tackle technique, and needs some help and advice ,in contact area.He has to understand, that this cannot continue , because otherwise he must suffer the consequences , and face a lengthy ban |

That was my understanding when I read the arguments surrounding this decision - if the tackle technique is flawed, then mitigation does not apply regardless of any 'change of direction' (invisible to nearly everyone in any case). It was a terrible decision to overturn the red card. I am also disgusted (though not surprised) by the 'boo-hoo' cries of Farrell's dad and the support form other English players and pundits. A few other points:Pimp wrote: I don't think he is wilfully going out to hurt people, but that not the point.Owen Farrell has a poor tackle technique, and needs some help and advice but my understanding is that Farrell has already attended tackle school after a previous offence - if so, it din't do any good and he didn't learn his lesson. (I do agree that he is being aggressive but not 'deliberately' attempting to hurt players, though - those who do that are usually far more sneaky - he does it out in the open.) Ah... I found this comment, comparing treatment of Farrell with that 10 week ban meted out to Moala for his tip-tackle, mentioned before: It also feels more controversial in the context of both players' prior records. The tackle by Moala, albeit a bad one, is his first offence, while Farrell would have been facing his fourth ban for a high tackle and was unable to shave off a week as he did earlier this year by undertaking World Rugby's tackle school programme. So farrell has already served three bans and has already attended tackle school. No wonder World Rugby appealed the decision - it is a disgrace.

As usual, excellent insight and contribution from Aber. I had no idea,he (Farrell), has already had help regarding the poir tackle technique linked to Previous incidents. Obviously, you have to assess every decision and case on its own merit, but surely, with his history anyone making a decision on a fresh incidents will surely have an extra later of context to add to the allready damnning evidence .

England dropping him for todays game suggest to me that England now think that a ban is inevitable. They look to be trying to limit the effect of the ban by getting Saturday’s game included in any ban that Farrell receives. Following the considerable level of attention this tawdry matter has received across the rugby world and the huge tide of negative public opinion it has generated, I would be surprised if England object to any ban Farrell receives after this appeal.

I don't disagree with most of what you say Aber but I do disagree on what you are saying about Andy Farrell. The only comment I have heard him make is at yesterday's press conference when asked he immediately said he was not the man to offer an opinion as he was talking about his son. What he did go on to say is that the circus of a way this had been handled was a disgrace. Nothing controversial about that - it has been a disgrace & that is nothing to do with Owen Farrell or his dad.

Really good article by Nigel Owen on Wales on Line about the Farrell incident, how he saw it and would have dealt with it, if he had been the ref on the day.

Thanks Seagultaf. Just read the article, and it's (the incident), is incredibly well explained in a cool logical way, by Nigel Owens. Clearly a ban to follow for Farrell , surely. The whole thing so badly handled. It's intresting to note what Nigel has say about Owen Farrell ,as he has a lot of respect for him, as does Warren Gatland. He is good player, but his incredibly strong competitive character is taking over , and leading to these unfortunate series of incidents, which need to be stamped out . Better for the game, and better for Farrell himself.

Now I have never been a great fan of Farrells. He clearly has his supporters as he has 100+ caps but he is not my idea of a 10 even in today's game. Neither is he a 12 where he has won many caps. I support Tigerburnie's view that Ford should be the starting 10 with Smith available to chase the game if needed.

Thanks for that - the headline may have been misleading, as I thought it implied Farrell had defended his son's tackle. I would still be interested to know which part, exactly, Farrell senior thought was a 'disgrace'. Was it: 1. the ref's chicken decision to only award a YC despite the clear evidence that it was a red? 2. the bunker decision to upgrade to a red? 3. the appeal decision to downgrade, or 4. world rugby's decision to appeal the appeal, or maybe 5. to do with any personal abuse for his son. Obviously, if 5 then Farrell senior is right to complain. If 2 or 4, he does not have a leg to stand on - IMO, of course. It is unfortunate that world rugby have been put in the position of needing to make that appeal, but if the review panel had taken the correct decision it would not have been necessary. I understand that England players are represented at these hearings by a very highly paid and experienced QC, who probably runs rings around the lesser brains on the panels... but crafty legal arguments should not be allowed to bamboozle such people from denying the evidence of their own eyes.
