Look, it’s Adamson, he’s absolutely appalling. Same fella that Stander had a go at in the RDS. I’ve heard the professional league in Scotland don’t even want him near their games.Even though the red card was correct, I don't think the TMO should be over-ruling a referee - Adamson had exactly the same view as the TMO and had decided Yellow but the TMO effectivelt over-ruled him. IMO The TMO can point out an issue to the referee but once the ref makes a decision, that should be it.
The rules are crazy IMO - a glancing shoulder to the head is a red but a blatant spear tackle is not, because the player doesn't land on his head - can't make sense of that.
Refs interpretation is so different - Adamson allows a rolling maul to be held up and never forces the offence team to use the ball but the ref in the Connaught game constantly demanded the ball be used whenever there was even a slight pause on forward momentum of a rolling maul - confusing for players.
And after dumping his victim to the ground with teh spear tackle he appeared to throw himself down on him to inflict further damage. I thought it merited a red every bit as much as Zebo's tbh.Even though the red card was correct, I don't think the TMO should be over-ruling a referee - Adamson had exactly the same view as the TMO and had decided Yellow but the TMO effectivelt over-ruled him.

I saw mitigation in Zebos challenge but due to the hit to the head and lack of control he had to go.And after dumping his victim to the ground with teh spear tackle he appeared to throw himself down on him to inflict further damage. I thought it merited a red every bit as much as Zebo's tbh.
His pre match interview was brutal.Sorry but they gave a gritty display and overturned a terrible start IN SPITE OF Van Gran, not because of him. The guy should be hunted NOW.
This type of incident illustrates the anomalies of the rules. Threadwell was reckless, at the very least but the rule is that if the 'tackled' player lands on his head, it's red - on his back or shoulder, it's yellow. Bizarre.I saw mitigation in Zebos challenge but due to the hit to the head and lack of control he had to go.
Treadwell had intention and the mitigation that he landed on his shoulder instead of his head should not factor. It was a pile drive with no duty of care. Red all day for me.
Who is apparently off to JapanReplacement for de Allende when he leaves at the end of the season
He was a quality player, he was relatively quiet at Toulon and probably even more so at Wasps. He’s been pretty reliable performance wise from what I’ve seen and the games I’ve seen without being flashy.Does anyone know this guy, is he a good signing ?
