If anyone can tell me how there wasn't a red at the start of this match I'll admit that I don't understand the game. I see nothing in that as mitigation and yet it wasn't even a yellow. To have that call in the same weekend as the Curry one is ridiculous and shows how badly implemented these head collision rules are.

3 Australians will decide Tom Curry’s fate this evening. Seems legit.
Another weird decision from the refs there. The French player made zero attempt to wrap when he tackled. Regardless off the height he hit the guy at, he's not tackling properly. Yellow stays a yellow though.

Very strange decision.
Wales only winning 14-3 against Portugal at half time. I know they've put out a 2nd string side, including 76 year old Halfpenny at FB, but you'd think they'd be doing better than that against Portugal.
