Didn't post straight away at the end of the game because I wanted to watch a few things again and cool down a little. With that said the ref completely ruined the 2nd half for me.He'd already decided to not have the tmo check a swinging arm against Ashton which i think should've been reviewed but it was borderline so I ignored it.To follow that up with no yellow for a shoulder charge to the back out of play had me pretty riled within a few minutes of the start of the 2nd half.Then giving a yellow for a tip tackle which was borderline had me decided that the ref was doing his best to ensure Sarries got the rub of the green. The penalty try confirmed it and for that decision alone I hope saints put in a formal complaint against him, terrible game changing decision.

Ashton doesn't move his head to Wallers hand/wrist, Waller has got his fist jammed up against Ashton's mouth already. edit to say, just seen elsewhere he's been cited for 2 separate biting incidents, both on Waller.
