Ahhh.....yes you can have a lineout without the other team. The only play where you have to wait for the opposition is a scrum, everything else is game on.

I see Perenara made the Rugby Championship squad at the loss of Christie. I really feel we should really have taken only 2 of the older guys, Aaron Smith being a lock-in, to give younger next generation halfbacks some test matches. I guess with the Bledisloe being the only non-negotiable win on the calendar, they aren't wanting to take too many risks, but for my money TJP or Brad Weber should have stayed home. Commentary is that Lomax was lucky to keep his place, I'd have said on the back of the performances so far this year, it's Laulala who was lucky. I guess with Moody still questionable, they wanted some cover, in the front row.

Laulala is by far the best scrummaging tight head we have. Lomax is a hopeless scrummager.

didn't watch ABs. Aus - Fra was the best game of the year so far.

and no way that was a red card.

Sorry, but it totally, absolutely, is. Check 13 seconds into that video.

If you still aren't convinced, check this out;

The judiciary disagrees.

ROFL. So what? The consistency by which they hand out their judgements is laughable. A point you yourself have made more than once.

A different panel, on a different day, in a different phase of the moon and depending on the temperature in the room, would have likely had a different judgement.

No the judiciary process is the part of the high tackle framework that has been very functional. It produced explainable and replicable results.

It's basically a checklist so it's very easy to understand.

they basically said shoulder to shoulder contact like i said.

whether that's a red card i don't know.

they give out red card for everything nowadays.

good if you're short like hooper.

bad if you're tall and has big shoulders like kiri.

3 and 4 seconds in shows contact with the head, no wrap.

Not sure what footage they watched.

They are using footage that shows the shoulder, not footage from behind like the one you are talking about at 3-4 seconds

A shoulder charge with head contact is no longer an automatic red card.

I'd at least compare a quick tap with a quick throw in. And if a team dicks around in getting to a regular lineout or forming up then it's a free kick - or a numbers situation although I don't know if that's a thing anymore. Anyway, you can't have a regular long-form lineout if the other team is still walking up to it.
