Bismarck du Plessis Yellow Card vs Ulster

Bismarck du Plessis copped a controversial (according Bulls and Saffer fans) yellow card against Ulster for a dangerous tackle, coming in from the side into a maul/tackle and not wrapping, hitting Burns in the back with his right shoulder

So you aren’t allowed to hit below the neck any more either. Crazy.

What the hell was wrong with that???

[@richardjvv1137]

Definitely not a good clean out. Don't think its a yellow unless he was warned

Rugby is getting way too soft.

Dead on Shane, you get hit like that and see if you think it's fair

@@jinksy2468 it’s joining a maul… nothing wrong with it except maybe being from the side. I don’t think it was not his fault the other player was mailing with his back facing him. these are all big professional players… can’t compare it to us getting a knock like that. It would definitely not be pleasant! But it’s literally their job.

@@davidsilve5943 It is also their job and the referees to ensure player safety, I think Du Plessis came in too high and knew what he was doing. In 2010 you'd say it was a great hit, but not today
