I'm sorry, but I didn't see Conan do anything special except, give the ball to Stander, while trying to pull up his shorts. He was completely outplayed by CJ in this game. It's a shame the backs for Munster were poor or it could have been a different game.

To the people here making a villain out of Kleyn, I would like to say, Furlong set the tone with some seriously aggressive play in the first half.

Also when Ross sees a 6'8 second row bearing down on him, he might get out of the way next time and stop trying to slow down the ball, I think a ten in the ruck is like a red flag to a bull.

Conan made 21 tackles. Impressive in any game.

Trying to defend klyne? Come on. Clearly a red all day- don't see how it's a 10 he is going for makes it any more explainable. Munster were pushing for a game leveling try. Was costly even if it didn't get the full punishment it deserved

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for someone to agree with you. But sure we'll see when the citing period is over.

Watch it again. Was perfectly legal. It's just the physics of a 20 odd stone prop clearing a winger. Looks worse than it was

I thought furlongs tackle at 6/7 mins was dangerous and deserved a penalty if not yellow. Called it at the time.

Using his arms is perfectly legal. It was a good clearout. Nothing wrong with it at all

Jesus this must be the worst thread this forum has seen in years......

I saw a Munster Leinster 1/2 and 1/2 jersey today.

It made me want to vomit.

Is there genuinely a discussion whether Kleyns clear out on Byrne was a yellow or red??

Im completely impartial That should have been a red, he leads with his head and makes contact with Byrne's head. It is completely shocking that he was allowed back into the pitch. TMO and ref fecked up big time on that call

Pure accident.

Still launched himself into a head in head collision.

Still a red.

Doesn't matter if it's accidental. He lead with the head and made contact with the head it's a red

Accident doesn't come into it. He dived over the top of his own player and made contact with the head of an opponent. A lot of yellow/red cards in rugby are for accidents.

Clegg

Ringrose is so, so good btw.

Hes always had the ability and technique to be a
world class player, but this season he has developed into a leader as well. Cleaned up so much crap ball today and made excellent decisions. There's a chasm between himself and any other 13 in Ireland. Arnold and Scannell are decent players and played well today, but Ringrose has that bit extra that makes a good player into a great one.

If he'd a blue Jersey on,would ye say the same.Lads I couldn't give a sh*t,I'm into running,but looking from an outsider's viewpoint,it was a complete accident,didn't even weren't a yellow,never mind a red,as some of you are calling for.

It is being pointed out that whether or not it was an accident is irrelevant. Accidental contact would be taken up in any post game hearing. Here and now he broke the rules of the game and should have been red carded.

Just because something is an accident, doesn't mean it can't be penalised.

In fact, even for accidental head contact the minimum is a penalty

Again. Accident is irrelevent. Rugby is a game where players are meant to stay on their feet. Kleyn dived off his feet and made contact with the head of an opponent. It was reckless at best. It should have been a red card. It doesn't matter if it was an accident.

I expect a citing and ban to follow.

You've yet to point out anything he's specifically done that was illegal. When you do there might be some point to going into more detail. Until then, you're just wrong. At the time I thought he was lucky in the first incident, seeing it again it was fine.

OK lads,for an outsider looking in,I couldn't give a toss,who wins a provincial game.I just taught that yellow was a joke ,a complete accident,anyway,I'm up for a 7am run,so I'm out.

Running at 7am is against the rules of running.

I don't actually know the rules and I don't care about them, but from an outsider looking in I think running at that time is a joke

Well for a start they are laws. And secondly you obviously haven't a clue so you shouldn't spout nonsense about something you admit you know nothing about

You keep making the point about it being an accident. Which is completely irrelevent. Like how many times has it been said and you countered it?

No, there is an Education section on boards.ie. This one, though, is about Rugby.

It helps to have some knowledge of the laws.

If you don't the rules then why did you say that was never even a yellow nevermind a red? Would you not agree that knowing the rules is essential before making statements like that? Nothing wrong with asking questions. People would have explained the rules to you.

Good morning guys.I apologize for insulting yer intelligence last night.As a armchair rugby fan,I still think that yellow was a complete accident,and did not deserve a yellow,never mind a red,as someone said.But as ye rugby experts pointed out.I'm wrong.I would have loved to stay up,and debated with ye,through the night,but I needed my beauty sleep,for my early morning run.Enjoy yer hangovers.
