Is this ref for real anti tigers or what!

Yellow Card Leicester: Toby Flood becomes the third Leicester player to be carded for a deliberate knock-on as Newcastle tap and go

Serious?? Three yellow card for stealing the ball??

Newcastle go on the break upfield this time

Try Leicester: The Tigers secure the bonus point after a quick pick and go from Matera who crashes over the line after some good phase play from the Leicester pack. Flood converts

But Leicester win possession back from the scrum through a penalty. They kick to the corner

Ed Slater is hit hard in contact and loses the ball forward. Scrum Newcastle

Leicester are on the attack once more inside the Newcastle 22

Manu Tuilagi is carded for a deliberate knock-on.

Totally don't know why the ref do this
