Don't agree with either yellow.....but then again it was Saints.
Penalty only for a high smother and the knock on seemed to have the ball thrown at him....lazy runner?
Ah well....sir is always right.
I'm no Saints fan but I think they got very lucky there, both cards were very dubious to me.
As you both say different views from different people. Tackle I thought was a little unlucky as started shoulder but did ride up to the neck so can understand it being given.
Knock on absolute slam dunk up out of the defensive line slapped at the ball with one hand when Saints had an overlap and definite line break. It was the potential line break that caused the yellow

La Rochelle gone fully loaded at the Stormers same 23 as v Leinster
Stormers score late to win by a point after an overturned La Rochelle try with five to go.
Could be very helpful for tigers in due course.
La Rochelle now have 2 lbp, so could actually go against us. I think they play us at home and away to Sale so will think that that 2 tbp wins will give them 12 points and possibly even a home tie

Sale, with a much changed team, playing superbly well.
Leinster always get away with things that other sides get pinged for: I’ve never known why????
The best teams always do - the All Blacks did for a long time, and once upon a time it was us.

I think it’s the perception in all sports that the best teams get the rub of the green. I’ve never seen concrete proof to say this is the case

That last line out? Even the most biased of Irish commentators said they got away with one.

The favoured teams always do,remember the season we won it and the ridiculously low amount of yellow cards Sarries got that season? It was farcical,there’s all the evidence you need right there. I remember one game where Billy V got away with two blatant yellows in the same match!

Really brave performance by an inexperienced Sale side with a brilliant last minute try even allowing for Leinster being down 2 men.

Saints really good in the first half but fell away in the second. A very good result for them; they seem to be going in the right direction.
After writing that blasphemy on here you need penance. Say "Tigers are always better than Saints" three times and that should do for absolution

Is it OK to say Bath playing quite well?
