The game was pretty much over.

Obviously, fair play to Connacht.

Connacht were the better team, but they were helped by a shocking refereeing decision, which has created a lot of debate and controversy.

But also, you've got to credit Connacht with how they played the shaping attack, and they are going to Edinburgh next week with it all to play for.

And the reality is that victory over Munster might not qualify for the top eight.

If they lose to the Lions...

and Connacht win, Ulster win, and Cardiff get something out of their game at home to the Stormers, Munster might be the team to miss out, and they're up in sixth.

So there's a lot to play for in the URC, a lot of jeopardy this weekend, and it all starts on Friday night.

Yeah, that's the debate around that John Dobson said, didn't he?

He said he thinks it deserves a full red card.

And I think there's a big difference between intent and...

As Jim just explained, Ian Henderson has lost the collision.

So your natural thing is, in a wrestle, is to just try and get him off.

The Rugby Pod
#38 RFU Back Borthwick, URC Play-Off Race Heats up, Leicester Smash Saints

And he's forgotten that you... I'm giving him a bit of rope here, but I don't think Ian Henderson's deliberately thought, I'm going to crop roll him so he does his medials and potentially ends his career or whatever.

The Rugby Pod
#38 RFU Back Borthwick, URC Play-Off Race Heats up, Leicester Smash Saints

I think it's clumsy, but it's...

If you want to make it, if you want to outlaw it, I'm there for it.

The Rugby Pod

If you want to outlaw it completely, we're still getting these upright headshots that haven't been outlawed completely.

If you want to outlaw crop rolling completely, you've got to make it a full red card.

Because the 20-minute red, I said it before, the 20-minute red is not enough, I don't think, for some things.

And the croc roll, if you want to outlaw it when you've got, you go back to Jack Willis years ago when his knee just got absolutely blitzed against Italy, I think it was.
