Surprised hendo is being risked in a nothing game ahead of the lion tour. Match fitness should not be an issue by now and I hope for his sake he comes through.

Last game?!! C'mon, we can do this.
It would be nice to finish with a win.

Ulster got out of jail there somewhat, the yellow on Lowry was a joke.

The hit on Lowry was a joke as well. He's small so therefore deserves no protection.

The amount of times we have been carded for highish hits while who we play against has immunity for a card (or even a penalty) has been crazy the past while.

I agree with the referee. Sensible decision. Mike's knee was on the ground and the tackler couldn't go any lower.

Contact with the head is contact with the head. Intent doesn't matter, except when it does

So there are instances where a clothsline to the head is ok, and times when it isn't. Must be honest find it very difficult to know what is acceptable and what isn't when the aim is player safety.
