Robson’s head doesn’t even touch the ground for me, definite yellow, don’t think it’s a red. Is that a new rule, if I hadn’t protected myself I would have got badly hurt? Serious question. #HarvWas

A bastard of a hit from a big, physical Samoan lad, on one of the smallest men on the field as he’s leaning backwards. Not much Elia Elia can do there. Red card is based on a ‘what if’, I think it’s a silly, harsh red card that. #quinsvswasps #premrugby
