Both correct decisions. My main gripe though is that if
twelvetrees hadn't reacted, I highly doubt the water boy would
have been penalised at all. They only looked at his actions
because twelvetrees reacted. It's well and good saying he
shouldn't have reacted, but there's far too much interference
from waterboys generally. It'd be good to see some sort of
post-match penalty for this sort of thing. Not sure what, but
something significant enough to stop teams doing it

I recall Graeme Bowerbank once catching the ball which occurred
the wrath of the referee but can't remember if he was carded.

That was disgraceful by the Sale water carrier, clearly cheating
to stop Twelvetrees taking a quick lineout within the final
minute needing a try. Should have the whole library thrown at
him not just the book. What else is Twelvetrees supposed to do?
A joke that he was yellow carded. Also how the hell was that not
a Gloucester penalty for the retaliation by Curry?? All this
following an earlier TMO & officials breakdown on the Du preez
head high charge. Not a great day for all concerned. Shame
really as it was quite a good game.

The waterboy intervention irritated me a lot and I'm not a
Gloucester fan. Not the sort of thing we want to see in rugby,
as it was reminiscent of a football game.
Not the first time Yarde runs in unnecessarily - good I suppose
to see him do it to another team and bit just quins.
Also, with teams now having every tom dick and Harry as waterboy
to deliver tactical messages now seems as an important time as
any for them not to be unsportsmanlike.

The ref spoke to him and he was disciplined by the club
afterwards.

I'm guessing that was the same game as the Will Skinner
incident. You can see the video in the link in my previous post.
