In response to Former Test referee Andre Watson says red cards should only be issued for highly dangerous and dirty play after high-profile matches were ima couple of recent controversial decisions in high-profile matches.
The goal was to try and avoid incidents like the one that saw England fullback Freddie Steward sent off in the Six Nations clash against Ireland, ahead of the World Cup in France.World Rugby are reportedly considering following Super Rugby’s example and introducing an innovative law change which will see referees only able to yellow card players unless they are absolutely sure that a foul play incident constitutes a red card.
“Like for someone who hits another guy. Someone that kicks. Someone who headbutts,” Watson, former referee boss of South Africa, told“Or even someone spitting on someone.
