‘These reds are stupid’ – Jack Nowell outburst divides fans as ANOTHER red card is shown in Premiership
It took just 26 minutes for a red card to be shown in tonight’s Gallagher Premiership clash between Exteter Chiefs and Sale Sharks at the AJ Bell Stadium. Jack Nowell was quick to have his say on social media following the incident.
This Friday night clash was the first game in the league following on from last weekend’s red card frenzy in which five were shown in England’s top flight.
Yet again, fans were split on social media after the sending off offence this evening,
The man who was given his marching orders was Jack Yeandle – his first card in over 200 Premiership matches!
The game, up to that point, had been an entertaining affair with a wonder try from Chiefs winger Facundo Cordero.

We see as Yeandle comes in to clear out the ruck before connecting with the head of a Sale Sharks player.
England and Exeter Chiefs winger Jack Nowell was quick to have his say online after the incident – he is currently injured and not available for selection.
Seriously, all for players safety but come on. Some of these reds are so stupid. Every player takes the field knowing there is a chance of being hurt, it’s a physical game. Don’t kill it
