That was comedy refereeing. Pepper allowed to go off his feet to compete, then get rucked off and have a second go, then fall over and pick the ball up while he's on the floor! But it's okay cause Heyes comes right in from the side at the next ruck and gets rewarded, so it's even.

After Heyes goes in the side Montoya sits down in the ruck to pick it up. Woeful officiating.

That Bath try was coming.

Ah Tempo comes in, he was never going not going to make himself known.

That looks like a red to me. Tucked arm makes it always illegal and it's high force. We've done well to get away with that.

Yellow card correct. It's a very late wrap which probably saves him.

I find this talking to coaches mid game really pointless, and they almost always miss something on the field.

Is that a rip rather than a spill?

Should be a penalty from that scrum. JvP gets taken out when trying to cover by the Bath runners.

Smith is going to the bin because the officials are incompetent and can't spot the earlier offence. Is Dickson and Tempest really the best we have?

Show it in real time! That's looking so much worse in slow-motion.

Huh. I didn't see that live either, but went back to look after your certainty and it really is a hell of a solid shoulder-barge, isn't it? I don't blame the reffing team, as it's so far off the ball, but it's a definite cheap shot.

That's six of one half a dozen of the other and Dickson just giving a penalty to get out of the scrum position.

Wasted plenty of the yellow card time though.

Terrible refereeing there. Dickson's just decided that every scrum where he doesn't know is just a penalty to the side in their own territory, so that his guessing won't result in anyone getting points.

Nerves.

We need half time and a calming talk from JvG. Play ever so slightly within ourselves in the second half, make sure of the passes, and we've got this
