It is a contact sport 😀 it’s an inconsistent penalty for sure

Is it though? Rugby I think of contact sport. Football, if I think contact, it's either a clean tackle or it's a foul. And when the ball is not involved, you're not really supposed to be wrestling (but IDK!). Did you see the Germany hair pulling of the French team the other day?

Yeah some contact is fine and the penalty foul looked to be both players jostling with each other, then a simulated fall. In a bunch of games I’ve watched similar incidents weren’t given as a foul. If it was in the midfield, wouldn’t have been called. I didn’t see the hair pull, but is often a red
