Fri 28 Oct: RLWC: New Zealand v Ireland KO 19:30

[shrewsbury roughyed]

Poor decision. Not even on report 

[Man of Kent]

Hmmm. Direct contact with swinging arm should be a send-off in this day and age. 

[dkw]

Should be suspended for that and do should the gutless ref.

[JimBronco]

Should have seen red

[YCKonstantine]

Bottlejob

[Dave T]

I don't know why we are happy for players to act like thugs just because it's an international. 

Another similar sport takes foul play serious at this level. We just play at it. 

[Futtocks]

Mulitalo's first try in the RWC, but probably not his last.

What a joke,that was a red every day of the week 

If its not a sending off then it's hard to see what will be in this World Cup.

[jacksy]

As ive asked before what does take to see an aus or kiwi get sent off?

[corkonian77]

Brings League  into disrepute. 

Norman was knocked out.

[marklaspalmas]

That's an awful awful decision from the referee. Terrible.

[Phil]

Red all day, no bottle from the ref 

[Spidey]

He did that because Bentley was winding him up. Should be better than that. Will miss at least a QF surely 

[Padge]

Having watched nearly every game there was no way that was going to be a red, to get a red in this tournament you are going to have to go in in with some extremely determined intent and cause serious damae.

[Wellsy4HullFC]

Won't get a gig in the finals if he sends him off.

He was sin binned so why would it go on report?

[JohnM]

He was never going to get sent off. 

[Wendigo7]

What. Does. It. Take. To. Give. A. Red. Card.

[lanzer98]

Pass looked forward.

A player for a lesser nation to do a tackle like that.

[SydneyRoosters]

True. I was just cross. Should have been straight red imo

[Futtocks]

So far in this RWC, I'm not yet convinced that Maguire's style really fits with New Zealand's. They are winning this, but don't look like Kangaroo-beaters.

Looked like determined intent to me.
