Properly ugly win today. A lot of dodgy Argentine play getting ignored and a lot of decisions going against us and we still ended up with a win. Next week will be a tough one as you can see tiredness is kicking in for the England squad...
is it purely because May stuck his leg out rather than allowing himself to just fall. In whichcase he would have been tipped and then it's a red card.
So the worrying thing this prompts is rugby turning into football whereby the tackled player makes the most of how they fall to get a Red Card.
The law was presumably written to take into account how serious the tackle was by relating it to the actual consequence, which seems sensible but I in this case, May has done his team a disservice. That can't be right
personally I can't see the actual difference between the 2 tackles - honestly

But not scum behaviour. It was sloppy, and stupid, and it was bad timing, but if Wood has missed the tackle on SOB, then SOB would have been upright and the contact would have been round the body.
There was clearly no intent. So to describe it as scum behaviour is more than a bit pathetic even for Hartley haters.

Its not malicious, thus not scum behaviour.
Stupid, reckless, negligent, more than likely.

Anyway. Regarding the incident. To me it looks like there's intent with that swinging arm. Agree to disagree. We'll see if he gets any further sanction.
How serious was the Hanrahan injury?
Mallinder's time is up though I think, especially after Wood's brutally honest radio interview.

Check the embedded audio at the bottom of the article. You get the flavour in the first 10 seconds...
Interviewer: "There are a lot of things to be quite pleased about from tonight's game, aren't there?"
Tom Wood: "No."
This week, Craig Joubert retired.
I was shocked at some of the mindless and poor comments directed at the bloke on various media. He had one bad game and he admitted he fucked up.
He has been one of the finest refs of all time- a more humble and honest bloke you couldn't hope to meet, and he oozes class and humility.
The number of times I've questioned his calls only to be put right in my place when rewatching the game is legion.
He is simply one of the most accurate and honest refs rugby has seen and I think his 70 tests prove that.
I will really miss CJ. Utterly brilliant referee and few close to him, maybe Nigel and Poite and Garces....that's it.

He reckons it will give him a better chance of getting that funny green shirt.
