[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1088438, member: 56232"] Sale ended up well beaten, albeit with 2 moments of individual brilliance being the key point of difference. Leicester however were in a fight before Leinster got a penalty that should have been Leicester's, a decision that led to a try. That's a 7 point swing off the back of a wrong decision. Sale were pressing hard today and Racing committed 2 yellow card offenses in quick succession, neither resulted in a card, Sale get a card out of frustration, during which Racing score. In both cases incorrect calls created situations in which tries were scored. Again not saying Racing or Leinster weren't good enough to win on merit, but some of these decisions at crucial times resulted in significant points swing that made the whole process much more of an up hill battle than it already was. On the flip side, I struggle to think of decisions that went against Leinster or Racing 99 where they could really say they were hard done by at a crucial moment or that resulted in any sort of significant points swing. If nothing else something needs to be done to make the reffing consistent across the various leagues in the competition. Particularly at the breakdown, there are quite different interpretations and that really shouldn't be how the game is reffed. [/QUOTE]
