I'm not so sure that was a clear red. Lots of theatrics in the fall of that Bulls' player. He also seemed to fall onto Naholo's shoulder.

what! a joke! really stupid decision on Naholo, red card
he was going for the spilt ball, he didn'tchange his line to hit the Bulls player
sh*t local reffing in SA
I was wondering whether Naholo was purely going for the ball, because his hands / arms pointed in that direction, but he then looked at the Bulls player instead of the ball. Red is OK I think
Aaron Smith has been very disappointing, he should worry about the ball himself, not pointing at the ref and not doing anything

He shouts and makes gestures like he's panicking. Totally losing his cool.

It was a clear red only a biased kiwi would think otherwise.
How is it a red thats a collision that happens in every game
A shoulder charge into the head is always gonna be a red it's not a hard concept to understand.
Now THAT should be a red. Diving into the pile of bodies, straight with his shoulder to the face.

What a shit field. That's a ground for club rugby, not Super Rugby.
Just to think the Blues played the Cheetahs on a wet field..

how is it a shoulder charge, a shoulder charge is what blue 5 did
The Bulls decision to turn down 3 from 5 metres in front is one of the worst pieces of captaincy this season. Absolutely ridiculous decision.
