Every time Leinster play I hope their opponents might at least give them a game and stop them getting a bonus point. The only thing dividing Ulster from Leinster in the table is the number of bonus points, and we missed getting one on Friday. Forlorn hope as usual.
Ref had no choice but to show Hastings a red card. Having his foot that high and that far extended was very reckless. They're handing out reds for much more innocuous contacts with the head these days. Shame though, it looked like it might have been a contest.
