Nikishin roughing on Schmidt, removing an opponent’s helmet – Tough Call Recommendation



Alexander Nikishin was called for roughing after popping the helmet off the head of Nate Schmidt during a scrum.

  1. Why wouldn't the ref give a penalty for not wearing proper equipment, seems to me his helmet came off pretty easy . No call or call them both. If watch closely as the cane players forarm is trying to hold the player , the Florida player pulls his head down removing his own helmet.

  2. The only thing I have to counter your point here is that the camera angle doesn’t show any intent that I can tell, though there could very well be something plenty from a different angle.
