New in-game system sees brutal yellow card incident upgraded to red
By Ian Cameron
A yellow card for a brutal head-on-head collision during the Super Rugby Pacific match between the Queensland Reds and Brumbies on Friday was upgraded to a red following an in-game review.
Angus Blyth of the Reds was initially given a yellow card for his high tackle on Brumbies winger Corey Toole, but it was later upgraded to a red card.
It's the second time the new system has seen a yellow carded graded in such a manner.
Blyth caught Toole high with a shocking tackle as the wing kicked forward early in the match.
Toole struggled to stand up after the hit, and referee Ben O'Keeffe had to tell him to sit down. He subsequently failed his head injury assessment.
O'Keeffe initially said it met the yellow card threshold and sent it for 'review'. The subsequent review saw it upgraded to a red card.
It's an example of a new system which is being employed by Super Rugby Pacific, in which referees are empowered to issue a yellow card to players for their misconduct, following which the Television Match Official (TMO) reviews the incident to determine if the punishment should be escalated to red.
The TMO has a window of eight minutes within which to finalise their judgment.
The first use of the system saw Hurricanes prop Tevita Mafileo banned for three weeks after an incident in a ruck was upgraded to a red card following review.

For months, I had been diving deep into the world of cryptocurrency, excited by the opportunities and promises of financial freedom. Like many others, I had heard of people making life changing gains overnight, and I wanted my share of the success. Unfortunately, in my eagerness, I fell victim to a well disguised scam that drained my Ethereum ETH holdings. It started when I stumbled upon an investment platform that seemed too good to be true but in my greed and hope, I ignored the warning signs. The website had polished testimonials, a smooth interface, and a community that appeared legitimate. I transferred a significant amount of Ethereum, expecting high returns in a matter of weeks. Days turned into weeks, then months, and soon I realized I had been scammed,I was devastated. That money was not just a financial asset; it was my hard earned savings, my dreams of financial security. I reached out to the so-called support team of the platform, but my emails went unanswered, and the website eventually vanished. I was left with nothing but regret.Just when I was about to give up, a friend told me about Washington Recovery Pro a specialized asset recovery service that had helped victims like me retrieve lost funds from fraudulent schemes. Skeptical but desperate, I decided to reach out. Their response was swift and professional. They assured me that while many scams are sophisticated, their team had the expertise to trace and recover stolen digital asset one day, I woke up to an email notification that your funds had been successfully recovered. I logged into my crypto wallet, and there it was my ETH, safely returned. I could hardly believe it.For anyone who has lost money in crypto scams, I say that there is still hope. Washington Recovery Pro proved that with the right team, justice can prevail.their handles.
