Can’t argue with the red card, but is it clear to *anyone* what counts as “mitigation”?

Feels like I’ve seen pretty similar actions stay yellow. The bunker referral system was supposed to reduce that inconsistency and opacity. 🤷‍♂️

Take a bow, Cam Roigard. That was some shift.

@rugby New Zealand duly beat Namibia by a margin. A well-deserved red card will lower the mood a little. There were many positives for them, but they'll also feel that there's plenty to work on. Namibia will be disappointed that they didn't score a try in the last few minutes but the NZ defence was just too good. Whether that performance will have struck fear into the hearts of their major opponents is probably doubtful. There's still lots of time for NZ to get it together.

I think they need to trim down the number of teams that qualify for the #RugbyWorldCup -- i.e. make it more difficult to qualify. We should NOT be seeing 71-3 games in the World Cup!

(Apart from the ridiculous score, silly games like this risk unnecessary injuries to the better teams' players)

Thoughts, @kjhealy?

To me, #Namibia is playing a much better #rugby than #England: at least they are not afraid of going for a try.

The latter are boring playing like it was #football...

So, yeah, this isn't as total first choice NZ 23 and this will be a complete victory for them, but...

What if Uruguay bounce back and beat Italy, Namibia *and* New Zealand and then Ireland get to play them in the QF (curse aside)? Just imagine... #NZLvNAM #RWC

The All Blacks have definitely turned it up after the disappointing loss to France last week. #NZLvNAM #RWC2023
