Jack Nowell avoids red card after sickening collision in today’s Champions Cup semi-final

Jack Nowell was lucky to stay on the field in the first half of today’s thrilling Champions Cup clash at Sandy Park.

The England winger was involved in a needlessly dangerous collision with a Toulouse forward who was in the act of scoring. Many feel that Nowell was lucky to not have been shown a yellow card at the very least for this challenge.

We see as Alban Placines goes over to score in the corner after some great buildup play. He is in to score with Jack Nowell too far away to even challenge him but that didn’t stop the Exeter winger from ‘leaving some on him.’

Here’s how people took to the nasty challenge on Twitter.

It certainly didn’t go down well with fans.

The sides went into the break with the scores standing at 14-11 to the hosts. Here’s the shocking challenge from Jack Nowell below.
