Monster tackle from Farrell at the end there

Massive shoulder charge more like it

Even if he did (which it didn't) there is the question of a high tackle as it's neck/chin height. Any other time it's a yellow. It's a home side decision but if that was in the 20th minute it would have been given. Also worth noting that May was miles offside in that same sequence.

Pretty disgusting. Handling errors were the reason of the loss, but that's a ****ing disgrace. That costs players/coaches careers.

I'm not usually one to take photos of my tv, but Jesus Christ. Oh well, time for LFC.

Watched it a few times and still can't decide.

That’s high and leading with the Shoulder and not really wrapping his arms, no arms tabmckle is a pen. Danny Cipriani got a red card for Gloucester the other week for about the same.

It’s a delicate and tricky area in Rugby these days but by the letter of the law as it stands I’d say that’s a pen and at least a yellow.

Rugby is ****ing impossible to ref though so no surprise they don’t get it right all the time.

I see you lot lost again in Wales

Our reserves just beat Italy 54-7 in a canter, look at Larmour’s third try. He’s going to be an absolute star.

Didn’t feel any confidence about the game at all.

Some good things (giving Hastings a big game, everything about Doddie Weir) some bad (pen count).

We need to start winning on the road.

Looking forward to an afternoon of rugby
