Never seen before Farrell being red carded over a high tackle

[@nicokotzee6270]

My exact reaction 😂its been a long wait from everyone

[@davida.codevilla9240]

A very, very long wait. Farrell is an arrogant asshole, a classless prick, and one of the dirtiest and (until very recently) least penalized players in world rugby. He’s begging for yellow or red cards constantly and he ought to get them more often.

[@musccampagne1365]

It’s hallucinating not to have any red card until now

[@Hentarded]

That Wasps performance was outrageous. That was Wasps 2nd and 3rd team in some cases, against a team Sarries will probably choose against Leinster. Wasps managed the game superbly. I'm so proud of the boys. Also, Elliott Daly losing against his old club could not have been more brilliant. Dude left Wasps to win things.... Ha

[@varaneszn7176]

He will in a few years time when we'll be back

[@BenJubb2]

It's not as if that game reflects the next 5 or so years after next season? Don't kid yourself that wasps are unreal now from one game, Daly still alot better off...

[@adamcarreras-neal4697]

@@BenJubb2 what? playing in the championship next year? Nah, he chased ££££s, Joined a bunch of dirty cheats. Hopefully Farrell will get the full 16 weeks for his thuggery. Sarries could only win things by breaking the rules over multiple years.

[@Hentarded]

@@BenJubb2 that's a good point. I made that comment because whilst he did play exceptional rugby, he was also a bit of a dick such as pushing Atkinson unnecessarily after play stopped. Starting to dislike his attitude. Used to be a classy player, but now coming across as a thug. I get it's the whole Saracens Schtick, but he's far less likable than he was.

[@varaneszn7176]

Adam carreras-neal Mate we have alot of talented youngsters coming up and all the stars are staying so we can definitely challenge for the title without exceeding the cap when we come back up

[@Lf2968]

Seeing the ref standing over Farrell to protect him from any Wasp backlash - can’t say I’ve seen that before!

[@dougclark9921]

because its rare to see a tackle that bad so he was in danger of a hiding.

[@wolfbloodplayz1590]

Farrell is an absolute pagan. Thank god he’s finally being punished for his inability to tackle

[@iangregory54]

As an Englishman I found a certain degree of irony in that disgusting 'tackle'. He finally leads with an arm and this is the result

[@jacdimond]

@@iangregory54 yeah he has tended to go in with a shoulder but I've said it before, he has Andy Farrell as a dad so I'm confused why he can't tackle properly 😮

[@Papoose316]

[@musccampagne1365]

He is a good player and great shoulder tackler

[@newspaper9949]

[@philipstewart2993]

That tackle was the result of years of Farrell being allowed to get away it. If Saracens play like that against Leinster they'll be slaughtered.

[@beammeup8458]

AGREE ... He has been protected by .... ??? He is basically a thug ! But then the little weasel Jones likes that !

[@dougclark9921]

Well Philip I would like to welcome you to 2023. He just got a ban for another high no arms tackle.

[@unmistified2251]

there's a pub somewhere in wigan that until now was v very hard to find its called Owen farrells arms!

[@matmul4850]

[@nick260682]

Can’t argue he didn’t use his arms here. Problem was he used them round the guys head.

[@liama2846]

Take a bow

[@Jim17735]

Good grief some of the stuff Farrell pulls would be frowned on in the UFC

[@Camerooonify]

Wasps fringe players causing all sorts of problems for basically sarries first team. Massively exciting time to be a wasps supporter. Some serious selection headaches for the coaching staff now! Bring on Leicester lads! Excited for when we get Sirker back from injury also, scary amount of talent.

[@varaneszn7176]

You outplayed us and deserved the win but it still wasn't quite full-strength sarries as we were missing few loanies in Ben earl, nick tomkins and max malins

[@varaneszn7176]

Also missing mako and wigglesworth as well but still congrats to you

[@adamcarreras-neal4697]

@@varaneszn7176 and still a understrength Wasps, most of the first team didn't play

[@adamdickinson2894]

@@varaneszn7176 I'd say 13 first choice starters out of 15 is pretty full strength tbf. The point about players on loan is moot as they're not available for selection for Sarries. And of the two positions you said were 'second choice' one was a Welsh international who played in the RWC this year, the other has 108 caps for Saracens. That's a pretty full strength squad to me

[@colingale7501]

Well done Wasps, contenders..

I'd say Farrell can put his boots away for a few weeks

[@mhtherealthing]

@@oneloveryno agreed, but oh my word, you've just made me shudder and reminded me of watching de Klerk last year, little git,haha!

[@sg-hf3qn]

This is just a standard tackle from Farrell. No wrap, leads with shoulder, instantly falls to ground depending on the outcome around him, but given the fact he knocked someone out could not be ignored whoever the player is

[@nieljansegers9211]

2:57 ah yes, a classic faz decapitation

[@xxwales15xx33]

Farrell never does himself any favours, just turning into a liability for his teammates

[@davidgardiner1979]

finally farrel gets a red card for another shocker of a tackle,years overdue.

[@henrybullock4514]

This season will be very interesting. Wasps and Bath coming into great form and then Sale and Bristol been very good at times. Exeter definitely aren’t clear winners anymore after close games bs Bristol and Sale

[@jonnycordil8782]

Wasps bee team was buzzing

[@callumhughes4615]

Wasps B/C team beats the Saracens A team. Good things ahead for Wasps

[@thelittleowl1]

the referee: you know its going to be a red card? ok, off you go.

[@mikemorley451]

Concerned that the ref appeared to be more interested in protecting Farrell from the retribution he deserved than in finding out how badly injured the victim Farrell had just nearly decapitated was.

[@MrBayren]

Farrell's a massive twat but how exactly do you expect the ref to help the injured player? He's not a medic so makes sense he would try to prevent further mayhem.

[@MrSiciro]

He probably new that Farrell was about 30 seconds away of being in worse shape than the player on the ground

[@nakedref8997]

You do understand that if he doesn’t protect Farrell then a massive brawl likely ensues with multiple cards getting dished out to both sides. The medic is able to do his job, only the one card for the original offence is given, excellent refereeing in this situation

[@GenoAtkins]

Great job by the ref to control the emotions of the incident

[@owenbrash1750]

Has owen farrel just never attended training sessions on tackling

[@James-rc6qq]

No doubt that was a huge error on Farrels part and he deserves full punishment as I'm sure he would agree, but it's good to see how apologetic and aware he was of his mistakes. Hopefully, that is the end of his dangerous tackles.

[@bg-rh8et]

Yes I agree used to have anamosity towards the bloke but he has stepped up as England captain and seemed to have calmed down generally. But his tacking has been reckless and dangerous. His reaction here to hold his hands up and apologise shows that he has grown as a player to an extent but that hit was awful and I'm glad he saw red.

[@lewiswilliams5967]

He was apologising almost before he did it. Almost as if it was intentional.

[@mushimi_]

@@lewiswilliams5967 Yeah he intentionally got himself red carded. Shut up you spastic lmao

[@Driver2616]

@@bg-rh8et : he knew full well before he hit Charlie Atkinson that it was going to be a nasty “welcome to my world” moment. No doubt at all that it was intentional. Maybe he didn’t intend a serious long term injury but there’s no doubt he intended to recklessly smash the guy and do some kind of harm..... And when you look at it a few times you’ll see that Atkinson, running, was past Farrell at the time, so all that was left that Farrell could do was hit him as he did. Despicable. He deserves a full and maximum disciplinary whack and punishment for this - 8 to 12 weeks and nothing less.

[@usarugbyleagueunionfan]

We call those clothes line tackles in the US. Wasps shocked me on this one.

[@Jas-cx2fp]

So stupid from Farrell

[@rpapibear13]

at least farrell is learning to use his arms while tackling. now if he can learn to actually wrap

[@beammeup8458]

He will be back on the pitch .... expect the referee to be standing over him more often ... he can dish it out .. BUT CAN HE TAKE IT ?

[@criffermaclennan]

5 match ban.....farcical

[@MsGorganzola]

Watching it back makes me feel sick. I've been tackled like that before and it's not fun. I really, really hope Farrell stops this shit. Great player but this is unacceptable by any standards.

[@beammeup8458]

Nothing great about a person like that : He is a thug and has been getting away with it ! Is rugby still testing for steroid abuse ?

[@Driver2616]

Finally! Finally a referee has the balls to issue a red card to Owen Farrell. Another ref might only have produced a yellow or even just awarded a penalty to Wasps. This was a nasty hit which could have resulted in a serious cervical injury. Farrell’s consistently glaring inability to tackle is not just his fault. All of his coaches must share equal responsibility. They seem not to have done anything to fix the problem. I also suspect that Owen Farrell himself might just be disingenuously relying upon this “flaw” in his game to justify some of his actions - “oh, sorry guys I didn’t mean it (nudge nudge wink wink) but you all know I’m really not a very good tackler. Sorry 😉 ”............ And when you look at it a few times you’ll see that Atkinson, running, was past Farrell at the time, so all that was left that Farrell could do was hit him as he did. He knew what he was at. Despicable. He deserves a full and maximum disciplinary whack and punishment for this - 8 to 12 weeks and nothing less. If the man can’t tackle then show some moral fibre and don’t pick him on the team. That’ll soon teach him.....

[@Karma-qt4ji]

Honestly don't think there is a referee in the world who would have given him anything other than red, unless they were looking to hang up their boots. Clear protocol by World Rugby. Also hope he sees maximum suspension.

[@denton1814]

Why does Farrell always stay down like he is injured after making those type of tackles?

[@guille8756]

[@artjacob5359]

Farrell is his own worst enemy, he has undoubted skills but his attitude is totally out of step with the ethos and rules of the game. He has a long string of form in this type of shoulder led tackle and it's obvious to the referees even without the replay. He's got away with it in the past but it just doesn't wash anymore.

[@spleenrz2197]

Not before it's time that Farrell has got a red card well deserved .hopefully he wil get a lengthy ban nd he might learn how 2 tackle properly ..he's got away with it for too long and could seriously injure a player or end their career with his stupid wreckless attempts at tackling

[@mattlyle4460]

Get back in your bloody boxes all you armchair referees! It’s rugby not fancy pants netball is it! I’m not saying it’s a good thing but Farrell is an edge player these thing happen. If you watch it closely the young lad stepped in and got caught badly by Farrell. Any player that saw a chance for a big smash in open play would have lapped up the opportunity but unfortunately this time it hasn’t paid off. Farrell was apologetic and knew he had done wrong. He uses a rugby league technique in his tackles which he has been coached in for many years requiring him to stay as up right as long as possible to get his feet as close to the contact as possible. This is what gets people’s backs up. As a player and type of person he is I’m sure he will be pissed off with himself and sorry for making bad judgement! Maybe the ones that always put good players down so easily should step up and try and play a game for once and see what it’s like in real time instead of your living rooms.
