During Harlequins 26-21 victory over Wasps in 2015, Joe Marler had an entertaining conversation with referee Luke Pearce.
The England prop offered England's World Cup exit as a reason for a late hit when the ref pulled him aside for a world.
One fan wrote: "Two adults, a bit of banter and a point made and taken on board . All done with humour, warmth and respect."
"Rugby is the greatest game... with awesome people... love it," another commented.
A third added: "This is the good thing about rugby, they actually converse with the ref rather than shout and intimidate like in football."

With his leadership, ability and drive, England are a different animal. Owen takes things by the scruff of the neck, just like his dad."
