[QUOTE="Leinster Fan, post: 926853, member: 76349"] I'm not denying that Lowe deserved a red, but I think the rules are flawed. There should be a duty of care on the jumper as well. For example there was one where Haley jumped about five metres away from the ball where he had no hope of catching it. Reid just had to stand there and watch. That kind of thing should lead to penalties as well IMO. I think it's harsh to dish out reds for aerial contests in any case because there nearly always isn't malice. Maybe we should borrow from GAA and go for black cards? In fairness there's always a lot with Lowe when we play you but Conway was only out there for fights yesterday. He didn't play any rugby at all and he was first in constantly whenever there were any fights. Deserved a yellow at least for that tackle in the air on Fardy at the end. Munster's backs were poor last night full stop though. Earls was good and Goggin/Murray are back from injuries but for 'creative' players Scannell and Carvery need to offer much more. [/QUOTE]
