FFR, LNR and Provale stand up against the new red card

This is a subject that continues to provoke reactions and divide. After Ugo Mola, then Mathieu Blin interviewed by Actu Rugby, the governing bodies of French rugby (FFR and LNR) as well as Provale, the professional players’ union, published a joint press release evoking their disapproval of the 20-minute red card.

“The FFR, LNR and Provale strongly oppose the adoption of the 20-minute red card rule and call on World Rugby to rely on evidence before modifying such a crucial sanction, particularly regarding the impact on player safety,” we can read.

“For the FFR, the LNR and Provale, the red card is a crucial tool which deters unsporting behavior and protects the physical integrity of players. Transforming this sanction into a temporary expulsion could encourage dangerous behavior, thus compromising the safety of the players, which must remain the absolute priority,” the press release also recalls.

The action made the rounds on social networks during the weekend. Due to the intensity of the impact, on the one hand, and on the other hand due to the annoyance and the comments of Grégory Alldritt on the field with the referee Luc Ramos. Hit in the chin, the number 8 from La Rochelle did not appreciate seeing the Rowing center without shooting without any sanction…

A decision confirmed by the high performance unit of French arbitration led by Romain Poite and Mathieu Raynal, as reported this Monday The Team.

“Tuilagi has a legal attitude: he lowers his tackling level as you would expect, he has his arms open, he seeks to embrace his opponent. Unfortunately, there is head-to-head contact, but it is more of a gaming incident than an act of unfair play,” according to the French refereeing bosses.

In his tweet, the former team director (Gitane, Renault) drew a parallel between Tadej Pogacar and the scrum half, believing that if the monstrous performances of one were suspicious, those of the other should be. be just as much.
