World Rugby really has to throw out their current framework when dealing with dangerous hits. I have no idea how a hit like this is only yellow card worthy but they have no problem giving a red card for an accidental head on head clash. A hit like this where Josh Adams clearly ignores the ball and actively seeks out Johny Sexton to go in recklessly with his shoulder to hit Sexton with full force when he simply had no right to make the hit. How on earth is this just a yellow card but when two players accidently head clash it's a red card. Does World Rugby even knows how a player can suffer a concussion or are they under the illusion it's only from head to head clashes? Because it really seems that way if you go through their framework. My issue with this incident is this, Jaco Peyper, his TMO and his AR discussed this and came to these conclusions: 1.) It was clear Foul Play 2.) Reckless and Dangerous 3.) Shoulder used with Full Force 4.) Josh Adams could've avoided the hit if he looked at ball If you read that, that is red card worthy. But because the the hit was an inch below his head, it's only a yellow card, despite the hit having the potential to cause serious damage like a concussion. This was a clear cheapshot, there is no other way of saying it. If this was a case where Josh Adams thought Sexton had the ball, I would've much less harsh, but in the replays you clearly see him ignoring the ball and just eyeing Sexton throughout the process to make the cheapshot. He could've pulled out or simply just went for the ball, but he went to make a dirty hit, which is much more dangerous reckless than a accidental head on head clash which they don't mind giving red cards for
