Replacement prop Pierre Schoeman received a red card for a lead elbow on Leinster flanker Dan Leavy during the Blues 31-7 win over Edinburgh at the RDS on Saturday.
Schoeman replaced Scotland international Allan Dell 10 minutes after the restart but headed back to the sidelines just over 20 minutes later after he led with his elbow from a routine carry just inside the Leinster 22.
Referee Dan Jones said that he had no other option but to send Schoeman off, a decision that was agreed upon by television match official Simon McDowell.

SOCIAL REACTION:
Another red card for Schoeman that imo isn’t a red in the Edinburgh vs Leinster match. Please tell me if I am wrong as I need to change my thinking from now on. pic.twitter.com/jVCMzgy5cL
