Angus Blyth sees red after huge headshot

During the Queensland Reds Vs ATC Brumbies game today, Angus Blyth received a straight red card for a humungous late hit on Corey Toole.

Just eight minutes into the game, Toole collected the ball in the backfield ready to return the favour with an up-and-under for himself. Before he was able to chase down his own kick he was flattened by the chasing Blyth with a “dumb and reckless” head-on-head collision.

Blyth was given his marching orders after an on-field review upgraded the previously given yellow card to a red. After stumbling twice following the hit Toole was subsequently ruled out with a concussion.
