[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 544583, member: 13739"] Peat. I'm not so sure. There were no ulster players outside Aled Thomas, so he wasn't blocking anyone. He's allowed to get back into position as long as it isn't interfering with Ulster. The Ulster player simply passed it to him, incorrectly. The only thing Thomas did wrong was catch the ball, if he'd allowed the ball to sail past into touch, it would have been fine. Ultimately, I'm not sure what the decision should have been. Hit and miss whether it was a penalty as he didn't stop an Ulster player from catching the ball. Yellow card was harsh. Penalty try, no way. Stevenson was inside Thomas and two yards back and the ball passed him by. Anyway, it doesn't really matter. [COLOR=#333333][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333]Including Mark Jones.
