Not looking good for North...
Wow hell of a call.
Disagree with the red.
Wasps management arguing with saints and west.

Me too, he was slowing down a hell of a lot
Disgraceful call. F*cking livid. Rugby is doomed so long as our referees are this incompetent.
Could cost Wasps the game Hughes is a key man for them.
There just wasn't any intend the leg wasn't extending, he was slowing down no malice.

Red is very harsh, think it's a yellow though... you can't kick the ball out of someone's possession precisely because your highly likely to end up kicking the player.
I agree it's hard to be certain he was trying to kick it, but it's pretty 50/50 I think.
For me, though - a red card should be reserved for extreme cases of intentional foul play, such as repeatedly punching a grounded player.

It was clumsy, harsh call but Hughes didn't help himself there
He wasn't trying to kick it though IMO.
^ Agree and also, when talking to the TMO the referee commented 'white number 8 has gone to kick the ball out of the hands which he has no business doing..'
1) No way did he try to kick the ball out of his hands
2) How did the TMO not address such a misconception?
It's like TMO's just don't want to disagree with the main official at all
@ Ratsapprentice : I really don't think he tried to kick the ball. Hughes is one clumsy mother but that's all you can accuse him of

I can definitely see why he would think he was trying to kick it out of his hands.

Agreed TMO started to question it on first call of red but backed down
The only argument for that was his leg is near the ball.
He wasn't extending his leg at all towards the ball.
I'm not upset as I want Wasps to get nothing in this game.
the knee was bent in the normal way as with someone running and slowing down..... the foot didn't extend
TMO should of nutted up and said what he thought.
I am very worried how easily it seemed for North to get KO esp after the recent head injuries.

Wasn't a red, was a definite yellow though and has kind of ruined the game.
Couragious performance from Wasps, Lozowski and Daly were electric. Shame about the red card as I think Wasps could well have pulled off a win..
Do Northampton always play better when Hartley is off the field? I think Haywood is looking like the better player
