Lions star Dan Sheehan cited as video circulates on social media

Tupou looks like he’s having a snooze. Lynagh’s life flashes before his eyes and Tupou is comfortable on his water bed and doesn’t even blink.

As bad as the hit was, that isn't the main problem. The biggest problem in rugby is the refs. The players always gets sanctioned and rightfully so for infringements. However, there is never any consequences for the refs. It takes crazies on social media to threaten refs before they quit or blow right for awhile. Why can't refs not be sanctioned too? Fined and send back to ref school like the players must go back to tackle school? If they keep failing, their licences should be degraded back to provincial licence. There should be bigger scrutiny on the refs than on the game itself. If refs blow correct from the start, many problem situations will be stopped before they could happen. They want to make rugby faster with shot clocks and many rule changes, but all they really achieved was making the game even slower and officiating has taken a very deep dive in quality. The refs don't know the laws. How many of them if they sit down right now would pass such a test? Rassie and his coaches would. Jaco Peyper would. They are scouring the law book into its finest details. None of them are refs, with Jaco retired as a match ref. Instead of WR scrutinising every little thing that Rassie or other coaches do, they should use that wasted time to enlighten their refs, and train them better. Very few refs are international quality

So the refereeing was stunningly biased, so many late hits, and with the continuing whining of the Ozzie’s, it really shows their class …. That they don’t have any!!

Wallabies better than I expected and the Lions worse. Question is how?

Answer is Schmidt rotated his depth and Farrell didn't.

Pollock would've been great in the final test and the Irish open side.

The clean out needs a clean up.

Rugby needs to stamp out players running into the ruck, going off their feet and connecting with the head of an opposition player.

None of that's legal or justifiable. It not supposed to be, the terrible sight of the young Australian first five looking up and realizing he's going to get smashed in the head is disgraceful.

I didn't care if the Allblacks do it, the Wallabies, Lions, etc. it needs to be eliminated from the game in the same way high contact is in every other tackle situation.

The ‘clean’ needs cleaning, it's become the last part of the game where head high hits are allowed.

There is no way the Lions player didn't know where Lynaghs head was and he recklessly went in with force and hit the head.

Should've been yellow card upgraded to red.

Is there an investigation into how the assessment referee missed this.

Wold rugby have already ruled that it is OK for Lions players to take players out at the ruck

Oh! A dropped shoulder into a fully exposed head. Nasty.

I wouldn't even do that to a Liverpool fan.

The WBs were great in the last game but didn’t do themselives in terms of defensive tactics and player selection. By only adopting a rush defence in the last Test were they able to physically match the BILs … they only seemed to get the right scrum players in the last Test …

What is the writer on about saying video is circulating on social media, when it was played, replayed and commented on during the actual game!

From a South African POV jonker had a blinder - that check on Nick white was an absolute shocker - and then to miss this. Aussies can be aggrieved jack morgans clear out in the 2nd test was absolutely a pen.

How on earth does Marius Jonker have a job? He is the WORST TMO in history, always misses important things like this, and interrupts the game for absolutely nothing incidents. And that’s coming from a South African- we have long known he is semi retarded.

Clear red card, tucked arm, impact to head.

World Rugby need to get serious on the deliberate hits. If you tuck your arm then it's premeditated. They need to sanction players seriously. No reduction for previous good behaviour and going to tackle school hence a two week ban.

A ban of 6 weeks to include a minimum of internationals.

And let's ignore the Aussie's no arm tackles? Inciting violence? Forward passes? The week long whinge certainly conditioned the 3rd test referee!

Tom Lynagh was actually hit twice in the head in the same ruck. The first one, at Game Time 31:09, was a swinging right arm by Porter to the top of Lynagh’s head which would/could have compressed Lynagh’s vertebrae/neck & then once Porter had withdrawn from the ruck then Sheehan came in from the other side with said shoulder/arm tuck.
