I haven't seen the game (other than brief highlights), but from what I've seen and hear it was a good game of rugby, that Leicester could have won quite easily if Toby Flood was on form with the boot.

People haven't commented on the rest of the game because this was such a big part of the match, featuring an almightly balls up from the officials.


I felt a little sorry for the referee, Wayne Barnes.

He was depending on his touchjudge to give him some kind of help in identifying what went on, and all he got was basically a fairytale bearing little or no resemblance to the facts. For both parties to get the same punishment for what on the street would have amounted to a mugging by Tuilagi was ludicrous and that could have tipped the game in Northampton's favour had appropriate action been taken.

The touchjudge had clearly not seen the incident properly, that is why I called it pathetic. I have no blame on the referee for not seeing the incident, as it was miles away from the ball. What the touchie then did was really poor officiating, he should have said he didn't see it properly and to have a look on the video. Tuilagi should have been given a red, no doubt about it.

The thing is, Northampton were disadvantaged once Ashton was back on anyway (I assume) since nobody can play to their full potential after a beating like that.

I've never seen such scenes of distress on my cycle ride into Leeds this morning. Lietrally thousands of families out on the street wailing & gnashing teeth. Truly heartbreaking.

The hype has little to do with Ashton and more to do with the fact that Tuilagi wasn't given his marching orders at the time of the incident, in a game which Leicester went on to win.

Still, if it helps you to take a pop at a former rugby league player now fulfilling his potential in a way he would never have done had he stayed at Wigan, go for it.
