    Lions material? What an eejit. He calls Barnes a ****ing cheat right after Barnes gives him a talking to for giving him abuse

    Dylan Hartley just got a red for mouthing off during a play that possibly should have never happened. There will be a lot of complaints about this one!

    WTF? Hartley should have kept his gob shut. Its not like he was not given a warning.

    The ref said he called him a ****ing cheat. What does he actually expect? Fair play to the referee.

    It was the right decision.

    They changed the rule a couple of years ago after a Wales France match after a late comeback by Wales left them only a score behind France on the 80th minute. France had to restart after Wales scored a try and they kicked it directly out.

    Changed the rule that you can't kick a restart straight out to end a half or the game.

    Silly mistake compounded by the fact that Barnes repeatedly told him he couldn't kick it straight.

    Nice end to half, hope Leicester go on to win it, for Matt O'Connor and Nial Morris' sake. Supporting the Leinster connection. ;)

    Sorry, couldn't wait. What a gob****e. Couldn't happen to a nicer fella. :P

    Seriously though, Saints have themselves to blame. A warning for dissent, followed by more dissent from the same player. Kicking directly to touch following a warning not to kick directly to touch.

    Well done Hartley. My bet is looking that little bit safer :)

    No getting caught calling that is surely the most idiotic thing in the world.

    Correct decision to send him off anyway. Can see him saying it on camera.

    Monumental stupidity from him. Think Tom Youngs is better than him anyway.

    I wonder if this will affect his Lions tour?

    He'll maintain he wasn't talking to Barnes I suppose

    especially when he has warned you 5 minutes earlier.

    True like ****ing shut up and get on with the game you don't get points for calling people names...

    Ban wise no he'll only get a short ban I think. Whether it makes Gatland think again about bringing only Rory Best and his fortune teller know.

    Hartley is actually a spy sent by NZRU to publicly humiliate Barnes for 2007

    Dorian makes a point there.

    You could see Richard Cockerill swearing and blinding at officials the whole way through the first half!

    Although there's no way Hartley was calling his own players that!

    Abusing a ref could be a serious ban no? Particularly with his record, he wouldn't get much mitigation (aside from saying he is so so sorry at the hearing :rolleyes: )

    Here is the sanction: http://www.ercrugby.com/images/content/IRB_Sanctions.pdf

    LE – 6 weeks
    MR – 12 weeks
    TE – 18+weeks

    Maximum = 52 weeks

    A 6 week ban would rule him out of the tour. It would be interesting to see how long a ban would have to be before Gatland says "Ah...no".
