and did not get any game time last season

Lots of Northern Hemisphere rugby fans and teams just fucking hate flair players. It's one of those things. You always see articles in the English or Welsh press bemoaning the fact we don't produce flair players like the SH teams do. Well, we actually do, we just say they are flaky, or can't defend, too unpredictable, etc, etc and pick the safe hands cloggers instead, like we did for the lions tour.

Tbf ref is fair enough there....amazed that's Glasgow's first yellow of Pro 14

Not convinced. The way there is setting it up isn't particularly legal, although it was daft to keep trying the same thing when he had pinged them a few times, even if he was wrong.

I seen a great interview with Nick Abendonan on this exact point. He was making the point that the all blacks aren't all born perfect in all aspects, but they pick players on their strong points and work on improving their weaker aspects. Where as here in the NH we just focus on the players weaker aspects and use them as excuses for not picking them.

We are annoying ref here. Must listen to him at rucks

Ref needs to start actually calling it down the middle again. He's had a shocker this half, he's Leinster's best player.
