The phrase from players that this thread has brought to mind for me is "They're the same ref!!!" or "What about that one ref???". There are two clips in this thread, posted as if they're essentially two versions of the same incident. For me, they're so incredibly different I can barely see the similarities!
Absolutely. And that should be the case because we are specialists at identifying the difference between fair and foul challenges (and careless, reckless and excessive force incidents, of course). The issues come when pundits, the media and - to a certain extent - fans, wilfully ignore those aspects of the laws to create talking points.
