Mad_Cyril Odd how the economics of the tackle in rugby union have changed. Since the threshold for head contact has been lowered and the penalties for it have gone up, there is now an advantage to be gained from feigning injury, something not really seen before in rugby, and something that would be impossible to police without the video ref. Not sure if it will last. The world cup was full of people holding there heads after innocuous tackles. Proper shite.
Best thing about VAR is how it’s shone a light on how fucking awful and at the same time completely clueless everyone around modern football is.
