David Campese throws "Horrendous" Antoine Dupont Clear-Out: Planet Rugby

Following yesterday from Ireland V France, I have to get acquainted about the horrible incident that he saw on the Great Antoine Dupont to leave the land with a suspected ACL injury.

For years Ireland and Leinster have moved away from reckless and wild cleaning. It is the chaos coordinated in their eyes, but in the eyes of other professional players, they constantly exceed beyond what is acceptable on the field.

Angus Gardner generally had a fantastic match, and the communication and handling of flash points were exemplary. However, in Tadhg Beirne/Andrew Porter Incident, you need to wonder if the right result has been obtained.

Reckless and dangerous

For me, this is reduced to the questions asked by the referee teams. Was it a clear direction of the lower limb while the law is written? In all honor, I don’t think it was. However, was it reckless and dangerous, a question that didn’t seem to be asked?

At no time were Beirne or Porter to do something to stay on his feet. The coaches often talk about the legal form of Ruck entrance as a plane that takes off rather than landing the plane and if you follow the resumption of the two Irish have entered as 747 who were approaching a short runway, with reverse traction!

At no time they were on their feet and, at any time, there was a real attempt to stay on them. They entered clearly to clean the non -wrapping nechors – the contact with the shoulder was the closest they obtained, the arms were wrapped and, for me, there is no doubt that the actions were both illegal and completely unruly.

Now, you cannot penalize the results all the time and to make a correct evaluation, you must eliminate the obvious emotion and the cruel result of the best player in the world, which is cheap from the field. Take this out and have a punishment shot; However, then a fact that there was a high degree of recklessness, that, at any time, Ireland did not really seek to stay on their feet. If you look at Law 9 and then read the grades, point 10 clearly states that “loading without obligation” is considered “dangerous game”. To this end, and then re-infringe the result of a player who faces six months to one year in the game, then the enormity of that class cannot be underestimated.

Let’s be honest, Ireland have a form for it.

For years they have pushed the breakdown chaos, beyond what is either acceptable or safe – only Malcolm Marx, a victim of a similar incident and probably even worse, in the summer for South Africa against Ireland. I saw Josh van der Flier flying in a Ruck two years ago in the Epcr Champions Cup, Clash Heads with one of the opposition props and then I was afraid to play the arbitrator’s victim! Therefore, I do not buy Irish innocence in this case, simply because of the amount of previous, proven or unproven, which they have.

Protects its assets

World rugby must act; Protecting its assets – players – is a key tenant of their safety protocols and there is no way in which, in a contact situation with 125 kg athletes who pile up, that players avoid control for constant reckless behavior, which endangers their careers.

I know that Fabien Phalthie and France they quoted Ireland. The formulation of this quote is essential and I will follow it with interest; If the statement is “reckless and dangerous game”, then I think we will see a long entrance prohibition – but there is an additional hue that Porter’s actions have changed Beirne actions, which is inevitably true. If the statement is “the deliberate direction of the lower limb”, then I think the mistakes will leave without Scot Dupont Unfortunately it will not do several months.
