bag.. where was the TMO!
@Dead Ball Browne: Agree Dead Ball Browne, all there missing there now is Dylan Hartley to make a trio of ass holes. And if Mike Brown was in the vicinity he could even off the number to 4 ass holes.
@Flembomb: in fairness Haskell is supposed to a good lad. Same can’t be said for the other reprobates you mentioned
Marler was always a low life..
@Dead Ball Browne: Haskell is a top bloke, sometimes gets a bad press but met him many years back and a genuine good guy, gave my nephew a signed jersey with a inspiring personal message.. Fav English player
The shneary head on Marler

Watched the game. Marler deserved a yellow. He was pulling Haskells scrum cap which led to some handbags. When it ended he then wwent and sprayed water in Haskells face. What were the officials watching I wonder? Marler is a nastry low life. Always has been.
For all his talent, Haskell has always been prone to this kind of ill discipline. While I agree, it would be hard not to react under the circumstances, people wind him up because they know they’ll get a reaction.
