Just cause rugby likes to be complicated, the threshold for this is "deliberate" act of foul play, not "always illegal" (mitigation for cards etc).Firstly: are we happy in general about the refs choice to give an on-field yellow? To my mind, that was an always illegal action that comfortably met the threshold of on field red, without need for the 3-4 minutes of alternative angles and such that line ball calls take. It's U20s so leeway has to be given, but surely the lead officials should be empowered to give them when the criteria is met.
I think it was reckless, but possibly not deliberate, so ref got it right under the current guidelines
