‘It’s a joke’ – social media up in arms after 3 sending offs in FIRST HALF of Pro14 clash

Another red card was shown in the Pro14 tonight. This time it was for Ulster prop Andrew Warwick in the first half of his side’s clash against Leinster.

There had already been three yellow cards shown in the fiery encounter at Ravenhill Stadium.

Fans were up in arms over the red card offence that was deemed by many to be a soft sending off.

It took just six minutes for Devin Toner to be given his marching orders for a high challenge on an opponent.

The veteran Irish lock was sin-binned for a seatbelt challenge on Michael Lowry in the opening quarter of the match.

Less than ten minutes later, another yellow card was shown after head-contact on Ian madigan from Leinster centre Jimmy O’Brien.

Ulster managed to go over to score whilst they had a one man advantage over Ulster.

Ulster prop Andrew Warwick was then given his marching orders after this incident on the half-hour mark.
