I wouldn't say it was jokeshop; but it does show the impossible place the laws put refs; when they can't think about intent; but only outcome.

He's been selected ahead of Porter the last couple of games.
Last couple of games has Porter starting, Wusty on the bench...
My mistake. I could've sword I'd sene him starting Prem fixtures.
I think he started the prem cup games.

Yeah, given some of the incidents that have been mitigated to yellows this season, that feels incredibly harsh,

Given some of the decisions that have been made at international level and that we've seen in the league this year, it may not be jokeshop, but it's very harsh.

Wacky game, very enjoyable. Red was maybe harsh but otherwise Poite has to get the credit for facilitating this

Poite, he's not clearly beaten there, it was scored a meter away from him lying on the floor... He was shoved over, which meant he had no chance.

That try was absolute horseshit. You can't take players out off the ball like that.

Christ the ball is bouncing harshly against us right now. The try, that kick from Wusty kicked up perfectly for Carbeary, then Carbeary's curls out instead of sitting up.

Frost went in to finish off the tackle, but got beaten by the ruck, and that's a fair yellow. Don't think Frost deliberately tried to kill it, but his actions absolutely did.

I can't claim to follow Munster, but if Kilcoyne, Beirne, POM, Murry, Carbeary, De Allende, Farrel, Earls are all C team, who the feck do they play in front of them?

5 debutants and 7 more on the bench. Sounds pretty "C" to me.

TMO wants to check the clearout, poite just says no?

EDIT - In fairness, it looks ok.

We're already broken. 18 players unavailable before the game due to injury, 5 more ruled out due to covid.

Commentary talking about selecting a team with the ref in mind. Wasps (and I guess Munster) selected teams on who was available. Hence all the backrow and scrum halves for Wasps.

Like Cardiff, it must have been a close thing that either side could field a side at all. Borderline dangerous in Friday's game.
