  • Errrr you realise the discussion on Havertz isn’t about whether it’s a foul or not, it’s about how dangerous the tackle was, right?

    He jumped into it, studs up, caught longstaff halfway up the shin with his leading leg, then caught him again with his trailing leg. Its so dangerous because it was CMs away from a leg breaker, and Havertz was completely unable to control his momentum when he jumped into it.

    If Havertz completely missed (albeit close to longstaff), it could still be a dangerous tackle that should be a red because of the level of danger. You don’t get away with it just because your opponent largely avoids the contact.
