Harsh yellow!

Could well be yellow.

degsie

Bloody harsh!

ElisaAtWar

Murphy, you are a duck

Arm to face, harsh given the height differential but arm to face is a yellow.

sydthebeat

Is it mitigation if your 2 foot taller than the ball carrier??

degsie

Good to see Ulster using their no 16 playing in yellow!

Yeah was pretty clear once the replays were shown it was gonna be a card by the directives.

It's a bit mad though, like I'm not sure what Toner could do other than not tackle him at all. He dipped, was bent over and his arm was low.

Getting the excuse in early??

Akrasia

If this isn’t in touch, that was an incredible team try!

Podge_irl

That's a great finish.

hold my beer

Ulster destroying us here

pickarooney

Any usable data flows?

Thats a try for me

Clegg

That's a red for JOB.

yerrahbah

I'd like to see the last pass again, buts thats a cracking try. Another high shot from a Leinster player

degsie

Murphy gets off on cards!

Clegg

Madigan jumps into him but its head in head.

Really hope not

sydthebeat

I agree with toners, but no fcuking way of that a card for JOB

Akrasia

Lucky boy

irelandrover

I think that is a poor call. Madigan jumping was mitigation but if he didn't jump it was still into the head.

Papalii got red for that a few weeks ago.

Fair yellow though - well explained by Murphy

Locke_Lamora

Great to see Baloucoune still has his speed, doesn't seem to mind toeing the touchline either

typhoony

it's accidental but ref is going to give a red

Squidgy Black

Very surprised at that. There's a bit of a rugby incident about it since the pop pass up in the air was just a complete hospital pass from Hume, and Madigan jumped into it, but the head to head contact is there.

Very lucky. Maybe I'm biased but there are too many reds for these actions.

hmmmm... I think that might be a new one for me.

No he didnt. Different situation.

YC is right as Madigan jumped at him

yerrahbah

Ferris really doesn't like Murphy

Akrasia

VDF is going off too

Utopia Parkway

Not sure about the mitigation there. JOB led with his head and would likely have nutted him either way. Think Murphy did him a favour there.

What is JOB meant to do there?

Tackle properly and not in a standing position

Make his head turtle back into his neck while mads jumped at him

Actually lower his height in any way to make a proper tackle?

Not go head first into an upright tackle

sydthebeat

Well done benty and vdf

Locke_Lamora

The scrum will be a way back into this game for Leinster

BENTY!

Was Madigan out of it there on the deck?

what's the deal with quick tap penalties these days? never seen so many of them

ongarite

Benty as a hyena.
My eyes are rolling

aloooof

An oversized hyena?? Jesus, Robbo...

sydthebeat

Pornographic

Clegg

What an offload from Reilly.

McCloskey needs to be told to shut his gob too.

FILTHY from Max O'Reilly. Great high take, great run and offload.

ongarite

Nearly amazing try

I think in fairness when there’s a loose ball, the first reaction isn’t to lower your height. It’s split second stuff which is different to lining up a player and purposely hitting them high or being wreckless. Aki’s defence for the Samoa red was how quick the situation developed. This was even quicker. Yellow was fair for me.

Squidgy Black

I'm surprised that wasn't looked at to see if there was a free runner outside McGrath for that.
