The replay shows Byrnes hand make contact with Carters head but Phipps I believe gets in the road too much to have any real 100% answer. I'd say based on what was seen on the replay there wont be any charge against Byrnes.
I'm not going to say that the Rebels whole side can't defend, but there is consistantly certain individuals who simply do not know how to tackle. It is really sad given players like Pyle, Delve and Inman just throw their bodies into every tackle.
Cipriani and Phipps need to have a good look at themselves, their defensive efforts are appalling
I'd add onto that Cipriani hasnt done the best with his kicks either & sometimes he's kicked when they wouldve had a better go of it giving JOC (James O'Connor) a go.
My impression is that the Rebs have looked short of a run. Must be tough having to wait the extra week. Hopefully they'll come out looking to rip in in the second half.
