A question: in football, if you had a defender sent off early in a game you would normally sacrifice an attacker to bring on a defensive substitute. Are you not allowed to do this in rugby, or have England just chosen not to do this?

Don’t know if this instance was stupid, it was totally accidental coming together.

You can’t tackle upright. The laws are clear.

As for substitutions, it really depends as while there are individual positions, to an extent everyone defends and everyone attacks. England’s 6 - Lawes - can also play second row so a winger filling in at flanker during scrums is not uncommon

No, it was shockingly poor tackling technique, you need to avoid head contact.

If it had been a front row sent off, they'd have had to substitute to bring on another front row. Other than that, yes you can these days.

Players know the laws. They need to go lower

That sending off was about where his head was. Inside not outside. Get your head in the right place. For your safety and the other person.

About This Thread

Maintained by Dai Bank
OK been on walkabout but off we go on 5th Feb with Ireland v Wales.
Hopefully we will all be playing at the correct grounds and with more than a few spectators to cheer, sing, not make too much of an arse of themselves through too much of what makes them lose themselves.

Thread title has been changed so thanks for that whoever updated it.
