Japan head coach Eddie Jones has hit out at the cards issued in his side\u2019s defeat to Wales, as well as Franco Mostert\u2019s in the Springboks\u2019 win over Italy.<\/p>\n
The Brave Blossoms<\/a> were given two yellow cards in the first half of the 24-23 defeat, with Epineri Uluiviti sent to the sin bin for thumping Alex Mann off the ball, while Faulua Makisi spent 10 minutes on the sideline for poor tackle technique on Dan Edwards.<\/p>\n Harry Hockings, who was making his Test debut, was also yellow-carded for a dangerous tackle, while Wales<\/a>\u00a0winger Josh Adams had a yellow card upgraded to a red for a dangerous clearout.<\/p>\n World Rugby need to act<\/p>\n Speaking after the match, Jones<\/a> did not hold back in sharing his views on the events that unfolded at the Principality Stadium.<\/p>\n \u201cThe only thing that anybody ever remembers is the scoreboard,\u201d he said. \u201cThat tells the story, congratulations to Wales and Steve Tandy \u2013 that is a good win for his side and I am sure he will want to get better.\u201d<\/p>\n Zoning in on the officiating calls and sin-binings, he continued: \u201cIt is almost farcical now, the sin-bin situation. We are absolutely ruining the game of rugby.<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t see any of those actions as being reckless. Penalties? Fair enough, let\u2019s have penalties, of course we\u2019ve got to have penalties. \u201d<\/p>\n The head coach then delivered a stinging sledge at the Welsh Rugby Union.<\/p>\n \u201cAt one stage, we were down to 13 men, they got a red card, and they were down to 14 men. The game of rugby is about 15 players on the field, and I think World Rugby<\/a> should be looking at this very closely,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd if I were a fan, I\u2019d be asking the Welsh Rugby Union for my money back, but they can\u2019t afford it, so they\u2019re not going to give it back.\u201d<\/p>\n Wales player ratings: \u2018Perfect\u2019 replacements save countrymen from \u2018jaws of defeat\u2019 while Louis Rees-Zammit struggles with technical \u2018rust\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n
