It would appear McGuire thinks that Murphy may have milked the tip tackle because he lept up once the penalty was awarded. He was also not happy with his try, I guess nobody likes losing to us.
I’m almost certain the referee waiting until Murphy was sat up to award the penalty, so that makes no sense.
Disgusting imo, from the angle I was watching it didn’t actually look like the referee was going to call anything until there was uproar from the players and the northstand, certainly didn’t see any of the officials run in to stop play.
As others have commented though, there was a real shift in momentum and play after this.
