Red all day, swinging arm with force that makes contact with the head of the player. Technically it was also after the whistle was blown...
Must have been missed when they were checking for the other offence.
Will probably get sighted but I suppose that is no conciliation for Saracens fans

Clear case for penalty reversal and red card for Leicester player whose actions were deliberate and dangerous

Small world. The tweet poster is a member at my club and I played with his dad.
I have often heard fans complaining that the referee must be blind!

According to the BBC report - The club have applied for him to take part in the Head Contact Process Coaching Intervention Programme which is "aimed at modifying specific techniques and technical issues that contribute to foul play."
Which specific techniques are they hoping to modify? the one where he takes a cheap shot at a player who is not in a position to defend himself or are they hoping that he will be able to bring even more of his shoulder to bear the next time he does that? Give me strength!
