Finally got round to watching the Bath-Northampton game, good performance from Bath especially with a man down. Found some fluidity in attack, clearly the game plan is muscle, but felt like we were starting to add a tiny bit of handling in the right areas. Superb guts to win that second half a man down.
I really, really didn't think much of the Brew red card though, honestly not even convinced it's even a penalty. Is that just my bias - what's the neutral view?
1:04 in the highlights
The player he strikes is not the ball carrier, Brew raised his arm deliberately into a position to strike the player, he's then struck the player in the neck with force. If you look at his reaction he knows he's done something stupid too... It's a 100% red card all day long (the framework makes it entirely clear). It could have been mitigated should Brew have had a really good excuse for deciding to put his arm where he did. However, he doesn't.............
To be fair I'm about as neutral as it comes in this one. I couldn't really care less about either club.
