Morgan Turinui has urged referees to not forget about the power of delivering a straight red card in the wake of Angus Blyth's horror hit on Corey Toole on Friday.<\/a><\/p>\n

Reds lock Blyth was slapped with a three week suspension on \ufeffTuesday for the nasty head clash on Toole that ruled the dazed Brumbies winger out of the match in Brisbane.<\/p>\n

Blyth was initially shown a yellow card by referee Ben O'Keeffe\ufeff which was then upgraded to red after being reviewed by TMO Shane McDermott under the new Super Rugby Pacific guidelines.<\/p>\n

The Reds were then able to replace Blyth \ufeffafter he had been on the sidelines for 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

"The process right now is if there is clear, unequivocal foul play of a red card threshold, the referee can still give a red card," former Wallaby Turinui said on Stan Sport's Between Two Posts<\/em>.<\/p>\n

"I suppose we can call it the old school red card – 'You're off, you can't be replaced after 20, you're gone, your team lose a man.' An obvious, direct, zero mitigation, straight away high tackle can and should still be one of those red cards.<\/p>\n

"We're saying kicking and headbutting and punching, yeah of course. But it doesn't mean that high tackles can't be in that too."<\/p>\n

Turinui had some sympathy for O'Keeffe, who was operating under the new SANZAAR g\ufeffuidelines and clearly trying to keep the game moving for the spectators.<\/p>\n

"It was like the world's worst attempt at a charge down, the way his body was. The issue was he showed no regard for the safety of the opposition player. I would have been very comfortable with taking 30 seconds to give that a straight red card," Turinui said.<\/p>\n

"But I completely understand, with the way that Super Rugby Pacific want to speed up the spectacle of the game, the actual time the match takes, that Ben O'Keeffe went 'Well, I reckon that's yellow\/red…'<\/p>\n

"It actually did help their cause because instead of having the full red, they were only without a player for 20 minutes."<\/p>\n

The Brumbies \ufeffwent on to win the game 52-24 and pile more pressure on Reds coach Brad Thorn.<\/p>\n
