Leinster play to different rules to everyone else. Connacht have been completely shafted here, the decision not to red card Gibson Park was an absolute disgrace.
As clear a shoulder directly to the head as you will ever see.

A 54-5 won over Pau gives Edinburgh a home game in the last 16 of the Challenge Cup. With Bath the likely opponents (unless Toulon get no match points latter today).

European Challenge Cup last 16 draw:

Lyon v Worcester Warriors

Toulon v Benetton

Edinburgh v Bath

Gloucester v Northampton Saints

Saracens v Cardiff

Biarritz Olympique v Wasps

London Irish v Castres

Newcastle Falcons v Glasgow Warriors

 

Both winnable games, 2 teams in the quarters would be good going, Sarrie's Wasps Castres and Toulon would be the favourites you would think, but outside chance of winning

I see the World Rugby is looking to trial the 20 min red card globally.  

I don't know the full details, but (even though I don't like the current laws) I'm not sure this is the correct answer either.

I think I'd be happier with a yellow, orange and red approach.

 

It will also come as no surprise to any of you, that I didn't think the Gibson-Park tackle warranted a red.

I haven't seen the Nel incident to see if it merits three weeks, but yet again I'm fake-laughing at the idea that he gets a week off his ban by attending a course to teach him... what he already knows and what he's been shown about 1,000 times.

Cleared by the citing committee too, ridiculous.
 

yet Nel has a 3 week ban for something missed by everybody at the time and the 1st anyone knew it had happened was when he was cited.
