Mike Brown taken out in the air?

It's a question as I dont know the answer.
On the big screen it seemed that a Wasp palye got underneath him
in a half hearted attempt at going for the ball. No reaction
from the officials!! I'veseen red cards given for less on the
basis that you have to be seen to challenge for the high ball.
So I dont know why it was not reviewed by the officials?
Can anyone enlighten me?

I agree. I was waiting for something to happen (or rather, the
game to stop) but the game carried on and the officials did
nothing. I can't explain it.

I thought the Wasps player was lucky, didn't seem to have much
interest in going for the ball but as it was a Wasps player it
was ok in the eyes of Dallaglio

He never bothered jumping and ran into Brown's legs - another
ref gives that a red.

According to Wayne BArnes with Flats on Channel 5 because
Bassett was on the ground he won’t be penalised. BArnes was
there as his mentor, just a shame he did not ref it would have
been a more fluid game. Maxwell Keys got drawn into the game
(that Barnes not me)

There was another incident that also wasn't looked at. Brown
made a break and before being tackled he put through a grubber
which went into touch. But he was then taken out (by Carr I
think) with a no arms shoulder charge. At least that's how it
looked to me.

It was Carr and it wasn't the only time in the match he failed
to use his arms in the match. It will be interesting to see how
many citings there are.

Interesting and of course he will be right. But it's also one
of those 50:50 calls. Basset might have been on the ground but
he had his arm up in the air as though he was going for the ball
but not looking at/for it. Arguably the arm was instrumental in
MB's demise?

Surely the fact that he is on the ground is worse as if he was
in the air it might be deemed as fair competition. There was a
fair bit of niggle going on in the game by all accounts and I
wonder if that’s what got to Wardy but he wasn’t subtle enough.
Will have to watch the game back and see.

We've seen plenty of people carded for not getting off the
ground and running into a player's legs.
