Rugby VAR is applied in a way that keeps the players and the people in the stadium informed.
In footy its just for the people watching on TV.

It is at United. There are no stadium video screens installed at Old Trafford to show replays. So all we get is a PA announcemnet telling us that the 'VAR check is complete'. Football has become a TV programme.

2 G's, an L and an F. Must be Welsh.

Goig and Hlaf look very Welsh, good spot Doc
Not a fan of the dainty little yellow and red cards that rugby uses.

Var has been terrible at the rugby. The Chilean bloke did exactly the same as Curry but he got a yellow rather than a red. Then they didn't bother reviewing the clear red by the south african bloke yesterday.
Ref in the Wales game was hopeless, desperate not to give any yellows to the Welsh.
It's good that they're micced up and explain things but it's no better at getting things right than at the football World cup.
