The astonishing 127-point total made it the highest-scoring match in English top-flight rugby union history, eclipsing the previous record from 1999 when Richmond beat Bedford Blues 106-12.
As the game unfolded, Ellis Genge appeared increasingly frustrated, with teenage star Henry Pollock seemingly on the receiving end of his irritation on more than one occasion.
Fans were quick to voice their opinions online:
“That’s a yellow to Genge surely” — 1,574 likes
“The no reaction from Pollock is class. What a difference a week makes.” — 837 likes
“Come on Genge — you’re better than that.”
“What did HP even do wrong here to warrant Genge’s reaction? He’ll get cited for that ?”
After the match, Pollock appeared to have the final word, posting a simple two-word caption on social media:
