Did Reece Hodge escape a card with this tackle on Fiji flank Peceli Yato during their World Cup clash in Sapporo on Saturday?
High Tackle Sanction Framework
Shoulder or high? Shoulder, because the right arm is behind plane of body on contact
1. Head contact? Y
2. Danger? Automatically high for shoulder -> head
Entry point = red
3. Mitigation? No
Final = redI also don’t know why it wasn’t referred… pic.twitter.com/bwTPSsA7bF
