    Away from Home. In the Munster cauldron. Down to 15 players for 60mins of the game (Courtney counts as two of anybody else on the pitch). That was some performance. Well done Saints. 👍

      However, the referee slowed it to a 1/4 speed and it showed a player's head got hit as he was falling sideways, less than a foot from the ground. The Saints AND Munster players both make contact with the falling player as they step forward to compete for the ball on the ground. And speaking as a neutral (Wales & Gloucester supporter), I don't think it looked dirty or intentional.
      That is an open and shut case of a rugby collision. And as unfortunate as it is, it really shouldn't matter how hard his head got hit.

    Sam Graham should be cited for simulation. Although not clear from these brief clips, Frisch clearly lifted his legs high in the air and never touched either Graham's head or body with his feet when Graham was touching down. Look out for the replay from the camera to the right of the incident when the full match is uploaded. Graham briefly held his head to look as if he'd received a kick, before thinking better of it and running away unscathed.

    Oh dear, the second time this weekend a rugby incident has become a red.but maybe the 4-5th time something like this has happened.
    I get the direction with head injury’s but you can’t be penalised for legally competing at a ruck. There was no illegal or recklessness play here, what so ever. Just very unfortunate for the guy on the deck.
    I get munster fans frustration at their performance today, but Munster were piss poor, along with that call.

      You need to watch it again. The left knee contact was accidental, as stated by the ref. The second right knee to the head when the Munster player was on the ground is what earned the red card. 1:52

    Sack that Ref. Saints 2 sent off for what was a rugby incident. His knee hit the head of the opposition in a breakdown situation. The final Saints try the Munster 13 slid boots first into the Saints players head when that player was on the round and after the try had been scored. A few reviews required of this very poor Ref.

      @@jacklynch423 the problem is replays in slow motion. That always appears to show whatever the reviewing ref wants. At playing speed the video does not show anything other than an accidental rugby incident. Please remember that players think and move at playing speed and in this incident there just was not time for the Saints player to have decided to have a second movement into the head of the opposition player. I noticed you do not comment on the clear red card foul by the Munster player hitting a players head, on the ground with his boots. A very clear and intentional red card foul.

As someone who has done a few cheeky things in rucks you 100% have time to think about what you’re going to do. Why would the saints player have moved his knee is such a manor?

    Yet again, the cynical Munster players act up for the crowd, and the crowd influence the referee. Red card that was just a playing incident, not even a penalty, and a yellow card where the Munster player ran into him to manufacture an incident. I feel ill at the way Munster deliberately do this, so cynical and unsporting.
