       Haven't seen the game at all but a win at Welford Road is not to
       be sniffed at. We got the job done which has been a problem all
       season so hope we can carry on that way next season

       He was also very grumpy in his post match interview that Louis
       wasn't carded. But Tempo was absolutely right that there's no
       obligation to jump for the ball if you're in position to contest
       it (something that the ref got wrong in the Red Roses game when
       a French player jumped to get the ball and into an England
       player who was absolutely in the right spot to contest it).

       I’ve seen that incident and thought that Lois had his eyes on
       the ball all the time and was preparing to catch it when Browny
       jumped into him. I think it was the right decision not to give
       anything. Many players get cards because they get jumped into in
       my opinion and I wonder if the players know this and purposely
       do it to get sanctions against the oppo.

       I’ve been perusing some social media responses to the game
       yesterday and the majority think Ashton would have been hard
       done by to get a yellow and red is a joke. Lois should have been
       given red for taking out Brown in the air and Tempest was
       terrible and let us get away with everything. All I’ve seen are
       highlights so I commented on what I had seen. Are they right?

       No.
       Ashton made a high front-on tackle that was hitting up and made
       clean contact with shoulder to jaw. Unquestionably red.
       Lynagh was competing for the ball, had his arms raised to catch
       it, and Brown jumped more than he did. At the moment of contact
       (with ball and between both players) if Brown wasn't there the
       ball is taken by Lynagh.
       Tempest did really well because the TMO had decided for herself
       it was definitely a card and only showed closeups that made it
       look bad. Tempest was adamant that he needed to see more. It was
       clear on the wider replay that both players were converging on
       the ball, both were in a realistic position to catch the ball,
       and both were trying to do so. Brown did it better and so won
       the contest. That's all.

       The Ashton tackle was really clumsy. Definitely a card. Maybe a
       different ref may have gone yellow.
       The Brown tackle was debated for a while on the field. Also,
       make a different ref could have gone yellow/red.
       The head shot on Alex could also have been yellow. Personally, I
       thought that the tackler didn't wrap his arms enough, so I
       thought it was foul play. But, also, a different ref may have
       decided differently.
       Also, a different ref may not have awarded a penalty try.
       All four calls could have been different, but, I think they were
       all fair enough.
       It sounded as though the crowd in the stadium thought that the
       pass for the Murley try was forward. But they did check and all
       passes did look to go backwards.

       No. And remember, the one-eyed fans are disproportionately
       represented on social media.
       Ashton is a red card all day long. Murley dips slightly, but
       it's poor tackle technique from Ashton who has plenty of time to
       get lower. Instead he closes the space before bending, at which
       time Murley is upon him, and steps into him making a dominant
       hit, driving upwards and catching him straight in the face.
       Tempest is right on the spot and it's a very straightforward
       decision.
       Much the same with the penalty try. I've seen whinging that it
       was the "first offence" which is completely irrelevant.
       Deliberate collapse of the rolling maul when it was motoring
       towards the try line and the culprit could be readily
       identified.
       The Lynagh/Brown incident is certainly one that can be debated.
       I think most refs would've shown Lynagh a card as that would've
       been the easy decision. Personally, I thought Louis was in a
       realistic position to catch the ball, but I wouldn't being
       crying into my pint if he'd been carded.
       Tempo did let a few things slide at the breakdown for both
       sides. Standard and we probably adapted better to his
       interpretation.

       Have to say Bassett's pass to Cadan for his try to give him 15
       for the season was a class and generous act, he was in himself.

       Also watch the end celebrations closely, Marchant and Bassett
       having a lovely hug, Marcus comes in somewhat enthusiastically
       and sticks a nut on Bassett, ouch[attachimg=1]
