1st half, white are pressing hard constantly.
Red have conceded several PKs in quick succession for various different reasons
Ref finally warns red skipper enough is enough etc.
Almost immediately - 16:31 minute now - another PK and he YCs the loose head. Early drive at scrum.
Then straight away on game restart another PK - 17:05 - and he YCs the hooker. Offside/collapsing maul/neck roll (take your pick)
We rarely see double YCs like this - eg post warning the 2nd offence rarely sees a 2nd YC. Its a personal bugbear
With red down to 13, white claim a scrum at the 2nd YC PK, to force red's hand wrt FR replacements etc.
On come 2 replacements, the bench LH and hooker
At that very scrum, white are awarded a PK - 17:49 - for what looks like a loose head collapse and white score out wide while advantage is played.
Despite however that scrum PK com ng in very quick succession to the previous two, and following the team warning, there is no YC.
Im interested in the hive mind's thoughts on this.
the ref has shown he is prepared to have more than 1 in the bin, so did he not 3rd YC red because.,..
1) he just didn't want a 3rd YC leaving red with 12 for 9+ minutes
2) the scrum collapse was seen as not a repeated PK (despite previous scrum penalties in the lead up, and the loosehead's YC
3) he would have pinged the replacement loosehead and now the scrums would have gone uncontested with both loose heads in the sin bin and he thought that was actually more unfair on white and would sort of benefit red more
4) he forgot, in the business of dealing with the white try
5) he let it slide with white scoring - but then had they not scored would he have YCd ?
6) something else?
7) perm any of the above?
thoughts?
