Dunno McFarland, Knight, Hartley and Cinti are all 6ft3 plus. Pretty tall really.

I was wondering who would come up with that gem

[Peej]

Is Tom Willis injured?

[Banquo]

unbelievable- Bulls player foot in touch....no one sees it. bizarre, like the 70s reffing

[morepork]

Saracens are comically cynical.

[p/d]

What was Billy carded for?

[morepork]

Cleared out someone with a shoulder to the face.

[FKAS]

Cleared out someone with a shoulder to the face.

Comically cack handed attempt at a clearout. Got past the ball then face planted the floor with shoulder to the head if the Bulls player on the way down.

Sarries played much better without him.

[Danno]

You love to see it (not the foul play)

It wasn't outrageous - he came in low to a ruck, but threw himself off his feet over the top and clipped someone in the face on the way through. Not hugely surprised that it's downgraded, although can definitely see the rationale for red.

Have you a link? I've only seen it once - and I take it from your hmm that you disagree with my summary, so I wouldn't mind another look.
