Bulls coach Jake White is concerned that rugby could be heading down football's path, where simulation and diving have been problems facing the game for decades. | Sport24news
Jake White says rugby needs to be careful of making decisions based on the behaviours of players who have been tackled or cleaned out.
Ulster were leading 29-23 at the time, and the Bulls were still very much in the contest, but the yellow card effectively killed their chances. There appeared to be nothing wrong with Du Plessis' hit on Ulster flyhalf Billy Burns - arms were wrapped - but TMO John Mason intervened and his shocking recommendation was a yellow card.
"I often wonder, if their No 10 hadn't laid down on the ground, whether that would have been looked at. "In rugby now because there is such a fine line between yellow cards, red cards and TMO involvement ... [you don't want] the players trying to use every opportunity to influence the TMO."
