It is now beyond a joke and top class rugby has to sort this nonsense out. That was hardly late and there are plenty more taJust witnessed another shocking RED card decision tonight against Glasgow.

Kearney cannot disappear. Held his ground and french bloke ran into him. What's he supposed to do?

French FB chips the ball ahead, Kearney stands still, French guy runs into him and goes down in a heap. Wasn't even a penalty and he gets a yellow.
