Because it's all about the occasion and the spectacle, rather than, ya know, player safety and the contest.

He got a fairly hard wallop when he did this in Twickenham a few years ago (2022, I believe?). I'm surprised that it didn't knock some sense into him.
The lineout went to bits after he was sent off. Ryan is crucial to it, but he can't be expected to do almost all of the work.
You might actually be on to something there.
I was never even convinced while he was at Leinster.
The biggest discussion point, in Ireland anyway, will be the red card.

Disappointed to lose that one, but I'll be content if we're still in the top 4 by the end of November. #IREvNZL
Wouldn't be his first time.
Was that bad? I didn't see the whole game and the only part of it that I can recall was the huge scoreline at the end.
Flashed of brilliance from both teams with an unhealthy dose of a stop-start type of game. It's eventful, but the organisation around the match is ridiculous. Iffy pitch, TMO issues, bad sound quality and a mix-up with a HIA call. Both teams deserve better than that. #IREvNZL
Just a penalty? And the earlier incident with Beirne was a (20-minute) red?

Very well.
Doris is clearly DELIGHTED to be back on the field. 😁
Nah.

Iain Henderson is on now.
This person said it best.

This is all very amateur stuff between the pitch condition, in stadium replays, whistle seemingly not loud enough for the players... #IREvNZL
Ok, just a bold sin-bin. But that's still incredibly harsh.
Is that red or 20 minutes?

Look, letter of the law and all that, but this really shouldn't be upgraded to anything more than a yellow.
No, you don't need to check foul play from an upright tackler. Barrett unexpectedly bounced into his arms.
Another contract extension for Townsend, you say?
