カナダは後半に勢いが増し、6カ国対抗のスコットランド戦で勝利に向けて突き進む。フランカーのジェブ・シンクレアがフライハーフ・ルアリド・ジャクソンのタックルを突破し、数フェーズ後にキック可能なペナルティが生まれ、カナダにチャンスが生まれる勝利を目指してキックする。 しかし、マイク・フレイザー主審は、ペナルティを科すことを決意しているようで、試合をTMOに戻し、最終的にはさらに踏み込んで肘打ちでレッドカードを与え、シンクレアが激怒してピッチから退場させられ、カナダの望みはほぼ絶たれた。 2014年6月、トロントのBMOフィールドで行われた試合中。 フレイザー監督の決断はその後、カナダとスコットランドのファンから批判された。

  1. Shocking. Was just pushing a player, who would have been knocked out for getting his head in the wrong position in a tackle, off. The game has gone crazy. If you don't want physicality don't play or watch the game. Yes, somethings need to be outlawed but a simple fend off shouldn't be one.

  2. Subtle movement but cynical and deliberate nonetheless. As his elbow struck Jackson's head with force, a red card is arguably the correct interpretation of the laws.

  3. Wtf what a stupid ass call that was you see hits like this all the time in super rugby this games getting soft

  4. im a scot, you're all fucking shitebags

    the tackle was shit, the commentators were right and canada were robbed

  5. Was a hard rugby run, very very poor technique from the tackler and these things happen, Canada was straight up robbed

  6. You can do that when you bump off someone but only if you do it with same arm you are carrying the ball with.
    That is the difference between staying on the field and being sent off

  7. Leading with an elbow? His elbow was next to his body, it wasn't out front? I don't know, I'd be pissed if my team got penalised for that, red card 😳

  8. Referee was spot on with that analysis, you cannot lead with the elbow and forearm……would that commentator know much about rugby…..I don't agree with it, of course you do not……you are a Canadian ffs

  9. If the Canadian had just continued his run and knocked the Scot over, that would have been fine, because yes, the Scot had put himself in that vulnerable position to make the tackle. The Canadian could even have dropped his shoulder in anticipation of the collision, and then that would have been a tricky decision for the ref.

    But he hit the Scot's head by moving his elbow to hit him. Easy decision.

  10. Nothing wrong with that tacklers fault for going into the tackle soft. The tackler should have been sent off for attempting to trip the ball carrier.

  11. Terrible call. What a shame. it would have been epic to see Canada defeat Scotland in a test. Always Good for Rugby when something like that happens. Like Japan beating South Africa. as much as that hurt it solidified them in the world's top 10. We need Canada and America to be in the top 10 that would be Great!!
