Two Red Cards in the Premiership clash at Welford Round

Two Red Cards in the Premiership clash at Welford Round

Both Leicester Tigers and Wasps saw player's given their marching orders on Saturday at Welford Road.

Tigers' loose forward Jasper Wiese was sent for an early shower in the first half for a clearout on Ben Morris.

Wiese was judged to have struck Morris with his shoulder tucked with no mitigation as he hit the Wasps flanker in the head.





The South African, who joined the Tigers from the Cheetahs, had scored an early try for the hosts helping them to a 11-3 lead after 23 minutes but was sent from the pitch for his clearout before the half hour mark.


Wasps' man advantage lasted until the break but tighthead Kieran Brookes was sent from the pitch just two minutes into the second half.

The front-rower was attempting to make a double hit on Tomas Lavanni but caught the Argentine in the face leaving Craig Maxwell-Keys no choice.


Brookes is the fourth player to be sent off in the Premiership so far this weekend following two red cards in the West Country derby at the Rec with Val Rapava Ruskin and Mike Williams given their marching orders.

In the earlier game, Jean-Luc du Preez was arguably lucky to escape a red card as he looked to clear out Alex Dombrandt. The South African was shown a yellow card for his clearout.
