7's have a zero tolerance policy.
Everyone knows if your a defender, if you touch but don't catch,you're going to the naughty chair.
There are no longer any disputes at all regarding these rulings.

So you believe that a similar black and white interpretation would work in, say, 'a Bledisloe?

Don't see why not.

I believe people are much more accepting of losing a game to a hard and fast rule that makes no sense,than to losing due to a refs "interpretation" that went the wrong way

True, but it's frustrating when you see two very similar events treated differently by different referees.

The directive was/is "never in a position to catch = PK", if there was an overlap YC.

no, Higgers deserved a red by the rules on the weekend but some after reading the same rules say it was a yellow.

People then complained that at 10 minutes into a game it should not be a red which sounds like the time on the clock is used as a factor.

If the Higgers incident occurred in a Bledisloe is would be controversial

WOuldn't the controversy be how the muppet left his team mates in a hole?

The thing that annoys me about the process the refs use is when the say get to the no arms bit and the say 'no he didn't use his arms' and I can clearly see his other arm around the players back. And his left arm is coming up to rap around his front and that's the arm he uses to slam him to the ground.
Yes first contact was to his head, yes he should have been carded, but surely saying no arms is outright wrong.

Enough. We won't be calling players derogatory names any longer.
Everyone can continue at there own risk. But I will be policing it from now on.

What about The Shambles (TM)? They'll be excluded, Shirley? If not, might as well just ban myself and Dismal. Preferably before they conspire to lose, at home, to whatever 23 blokes the Chiefs managed to round up at the Huntly Mongrel Mob chapter whilst on their drive up to Auckland.

That's an entire team not an individual. Could be okay.
