My highly valuable comment is: what a coincidence Ashton is involved. Anyhow, straight red is harsh given the circumstances. Should have been a yellow. Watson is clearly not taking out the player in the air, it's that his running trajectory does not allow the jumping player to land safely - not intentional, and, again, what the heck was Ashton doing there. I appreciate the laws should be applied to their letter, but let's be sensible - refs are interpreting situations anyway, and you can clearly see where World Rugby has given strict guidelines and where it has not. Sometimes refs are letting players get away with murder, other times they are applying rules blindly, without appreciating the context. Sort it ut and don't be unnecessarily harsh on good sportsmen like Watson!
didn't read all che comments but the word that sprung to my mind when I saw the video was: GENIUS!!
Just wait for Strettle to recover and meet Estebanez again...
