    The DOC incident. Pulling an opponent's hair, feigning injury to get him carded, pretty silly but nothing major, but he may find himself in trouble for the incident towards the end of the above clip.

    Not so sure about the feigning injury thing as it looks more like from that clip that after he gets the slap he gets pushed down to the ground by the other player after that. But definitely stupid grabbing the hair, did it a couple of times too.

    Yeah that was supposedly what started it, could well miss some time for that

    That's the way I saw it. The push was what made him lie down

    London Scottish and Bedford drew 52-52 in the championship today. 15 tries.
    Highest scoring pro draw anyway obv there's been few games with higher total score overall.

    Haha, someone was moaning about the ref in the Bristol game on Jonny Hammonds tweet. Madigan tweeted defending them, and the lad asked him if he was in the ground or watching on TV.

    When you ask the man of match.....
    The refereeing was truly appalling including the TMO. Just about the worst I've ever seen for sheer incompetence.
    Madigan was really good but the opposition were erratic and the ref donated 3 or 4 tries.

    DOC should be cited for the hair pulling alone. That's a red-card offence.

    Didn't Folau do a much worse hair pull in one of the rugby championship games this season, against SA?, and get away without a citing? I'm not saying it shouldn't be a citable offence, just not sure that it is

    Pulling someone's hair is a red card offense, but yeah it has been ignored in the past. But the contact with the eye area might well be the one he gets done for anyway, pretty blatant.

    If this is still close with 10 minutes to go, I can see Saracens starting to panic they're so desperate for a win.

    Geordan Murphy when his team is losing to Munster - " The ref is screwing is"
    When his team is losing to Saracens - "Ah look, Saracens are a quality outfit" :rolleyes:

    Second yellow card makes a red card for Johnny May for another deliberate knock on.

    Please tell me that Pau had a penalty anyway, and he didn't just give away a penalty and lose them the game.

    Looks like it was just a collapsed scrum and a reset.

    And, in their presser, they said he has returned to Ireland...a bit superfluous unless there is something in the works.....

    Worcester had a new coach arrive this week, so I assume he just thought he was surplus to requirements. I'd imagine it'll be either retirement or AIL next.

    Is there no professional team in need of an emergency scrum half, he needs to keep the dream alive. Southern Kings? Some injury ravaged pro d2 team?

    It's quite incredible how many injuries Clermont have suffered this season.
