That's the first red card of the tournament I've seen where I have some sympathy for the offender. They were both running forward/changing direction to pounce on a loose ball, it happened very quickly, and it was a proper attempt to make a tackle.
Aki? Mate, if you think Lavanini should get red then how can you think Aki shouldn’t? Aki was totally upright and the Samoan didn’t dip at all. Lavanini could’ve gone lower but at least he did make a genuine attempt at a tackle and farrel dipped into it.
