Craig Joubert has showed game after game that if a game is ref'd well you barely even notice they are there!
@#3 I'm trying to look past the crap you have written to figure out your point and if it is that you would be gutted to go to a game like the Wales France semi only to have the game ruined by a send off after 20 min then I agree. BUT to say there should never be red or yellow cards is plain ridiculas. Do you realise what would happen if that were the case? Players would literally get killed. I would fear for the likes of Cruden, Carter, Cooper, Wilkinson etc as dirty players would basically be encouraged to take them out of the game. Spear tackles and head highs would be common place just to send the play-makers of the best teams off injured. Tackles such as Warburton's would go 10 degrees closer to vertical and come down to the ground with force, players would have their heads driven into the ground and inevitably get seriously injured to the extent of paralysis and even death. I'm afraid your suggestion is not well thought through at all! There are red cards for a very good reason one of which is to keep the game safe for players!

Go ABs!! One more Game!!! Kia kaha

There should ALWAYS be 30 players on the field,that what I pay to see, and the IRB should change the rules

The immediate send off is something that is available to a referee, it is the most serious of penalties. Don't ever put yourself in the situation where it might be given. Sam Warburton did. I would have loved to see Wales win but don't forget, there is no way of saying that they would have if it was just a yellow.
