    For all the crying that was done in the last couple of weeks, the referee has been very kind to Munster today.

    They've been well on top since the yellow but Gloucester had a perfectly acceptable jackel attempt told to leave it in the build up to that try.

    Leave it, man. Any old excuse to stick the knife in.
    The yellow was harsh, but Gloucester won a penalty when they should have given one away leading to the rolling maul too.

    Yeah seriously embarrassing to get a shoulder to the head at a ruck.

    So perhaps a HIA would be needed.

    Jesus, Williams' passing is shocking.

    Really missing Cloete in a game like this.

    His back? Are you looking at Banahans clear out after? First clearouts right shoulder hits Goggin in the head or high neck area and his head snapped back. No problem with Banahans one after. They flew in, in similar ways but Banahan made no high contact.

    Polledri trying to break Beirne's fingers in the maul.
    Classic shenanigans.

    Embarrassing from Scannell there as well I suppose? Shoulder to the face is red.

    That's at least a yellow for Cipriani.

    Same as the Kaino challenge.

    Two completely different challenges.

    Don't think you'll hear many complaining about that red, but the yellow was soft as f*ck.

    Letter of the law... ok sure red.
    If anyone genuinely believes that should be a red then i despair. At the speed and height he was running into the shoulder rather than the other way around.

    That's the game. It is a red, harsh generally speaking but consistent with what we've seen so far this season.

    I'm Munster to the core but bloody hell that's a harsh red. I know player safety is paramount these days but.....

    Cipriani. Unbelievable. For all his talent, the man is just a car crash.

    That should be game Munster now.

    I enjoy watching Cipriani's continuing struggles against Irish opposition. A few years ago it was getting sidestepped by Furlong now it's the red card.

    Scannell got a shoulder to the face and didn't go flailing and shouting to the ref so no, not remotely comparable.

    Red card, letter of the law, whatever, the game is becoming unwatchable at this rate.

    What is Cipriani supposed to do there? Jump out of the way? Harsh imo, but the letter of the law says it's red.

    Watch the body position for everyone else, they are low below shoulder level, it's the tackles responsibility for getting into the right position,
