Retired from babbling. Can be found on twittter @okeeffesimon
You can spot their 19 lashing Johnny out of it at the start of the clip too.
That's my first time seeing that. Didn't catch it live. It wasn't a late hit really, but was certainly a no arms tackle from the looks of it. He just body checked him. I know Whitehouse played advantage for it but how was that not a card?

It was just to our left. Should have been a card but not really bothered about that as long as Sexto is feeling no ill effects.
Is that not the sort of thing a number 7 is supposed to try and prevent by getting in the way etc.? Actually I find it mind-boggling how little protection Sexton has been afforded by his team mates this season in Green and Blue.

If he were a natural 7 he'd have stopped it using the powers that only natural 7s have so that even if they're stationed out wide on a planned move off a lineout they can block a guy running at the first receiver on the other side of the pitch using only organic sevenosity. Obvs innit.

Haha that's basically the argument it seems! Or that he blocks Sexton illegally and takes the Treviso tackler without the ball?!

Oh I think you've made that point
But you did in fairness respond directly to the post, with the implication that having a 'natural 7 on the field' might have changed things for Sexton.
In fairness one of the 7s traditional jobs was to be the tailgunner in the lineout for this kind of tidying up and for pouncing on overthrows etc etc. I suppose he could have barged yerman if he had been there. Not legally though.
I'm pretty certain the last place in Tier 2 is rotated between the three leagues over three seasons. Pro12 got it in 2015 so can't get it this season meaning Ulster will be in Tier 3 next season.

If true. That means that both Leinster and Connacht are guaranteed top seeds.

Interesting, thought it was done year by year in a pre-draw before the main one.
I suppose the draw will be delayed a bit this year with the top 14 final not until June 24th.
