The controversial red card given to Curtis Langdon during the #InvestecChampionsCup match between Saints and Munster has sparked debate among fans and players. Langdon's red card for a knee to the head led to a victory for Saints, with Fin Smith playing a crucial role. Fans and players are divided on the decision, with some arguing about intent and the severity of the punishment.
This is a really tough one. It’s definitely not a red card. Jenkins is clearly bent at the knees, if that’s a slightly taller player it’s a perfectly legal hit. I could see an argument that that isn’t foul play, but a yellow is probably the right call. #InvestecChampionsCup
