The 'official' release was after Uruguay's fabulous win over Fiji, so will come into force tomorrow. You are indeed correct about the Italy/Canada game, I stand corrected & humbly apologise. TBF (again) I do sympathise with the spirit of your post ie 'surprise surprise' if a clampdown hits England first or hardest.

IMO, I think 'hardest' I reckon the 2 Samoans that should have had reds against Russia might be the first to be hit very hard. ( pun intended)

The 'hitting hard' after the event has already started with the Aussie player getting a 3 match ban. The Samoans may well be similarly punished. What eagleman is talking about is the refereeing becoming more strict.

It was also handed out before world rugbys statement this morning .

Well, A red card & deservedly so, I worry about Piers Francis tho after his very similar tackle in the 1st min. I agree the 2 Samoans will prob be cited as I think Francis will, will be interesting to see what the outcome will be. Easy win for England today, but, why oh why did they gift the USA a cheap try? 10 days off then the Argies. Edited by eagleman13 (26 Sep 2019 2.16pm)
