In one of the women's 6N games alst weekend (I _think_ it was Ireland v Wales ) there was a head clash incident reviewed by TMO.
I unfortunately cannot find it on any video available online - if anybody can Id be grateful becasue obviously its difficult to discuss this without such :-( ISTR it was around ten 60-70 minute mark but I might be horribly wrong! )
Anyway, which ever it was...
there was a tackle which was reviewed by the TMO. It was very upright, no obvious mitigation. Head clash. With force in the impact.
The TMO and ref agreed it was "accidental" so there were no cards due.
Understandably maybe, women's rugby doesnt have the same level of "force" on the whole that men's rugby does. But then again nor would U14 lads and i cant see that that would be a distinguishing difference?
So is the protocol different in the women's 6N ? Cos i can't see why frankly it wasnt a RC?
anybody else see it?
