Red Card - Red Face
How dare that Australian ref red card our Hurricanes Jordie Barrett.
The all-legs, towering and swift as a giraffe being chased by a lion Barrett who can kick goals from 97 metres, is an angel disguised as an All Black on occasions. And an occasion was last Sunday.
Barrett who over extended a leg in order to retain balance from flying in the air to take a catch, got the sprig part of a boot stuck in someones face. The someone wasn't hurt but the ref along with his Aussie ref panel decided he had to go as it all was deliberate, dangerous and damaging.
So he had to appear before a tribunal who had the power to banish Barrett from any further 2021 internationals. But the body of men agreed with Barrett's defence team that Barrett had been wrongly condemned and confined to the sideline and was entirely innocent (and angelic).
And Jordie is now allowed to rejoin his brothers in arm, Beauden and Scott and the terrific threesome can wreak havoc against all comers again starting this coming weekend. Hope Jordie gets in the starting 15 as he is a better more talented all round full back than that Damian fellow who can only smile when he kicks goals or when he misses kicking goals.
