Welcome back, glad you enjoyed the trip back to your homeland

Bird`s antics when Russell was taking the penalty deserved a sending off, but nobody has mentioned it. He was like a puppet on a string, waving his arms about and jumping from side to side. I would like to know the refs interpretations of the rules, as I was under the impression players had to be still whilst a conversion or penalty was taken. It was definitely ungentlemanly conduct and Bird plumed the depths with his antics.

Which was why the penalty leeming won from him to put us in front was especially satisfying. - he’s a grub.

He not only behaved on that way- but continued to do so after the red warned him. Hewer is a very very weak ref.

least he kicked it!

we got two penalties i think as the ball was moved forward after leeming got the penalty, making it easier! thank you very much

leeming could have played that ball but he passed it into the player in the ruck... dont really like to see that creeping into the game but not complaining ... but would be fuming if on the end of it

I’m sure it was particularly satisfying for leeming to make that play. Perhaps if Catalan hadn’t play acted to get him sent off a couple of weeks before leeming wouldn’t have thought about doing what he did. Got his own back on bird very nicely.
