Conor Murray left reeling after sickening red card tackle

As clear a red card as you are likely to see all season.

Conor Murray was forced to go for a Head Injury Assessment in the first half of Munster's United Rugby Championship quarter final. Munster were were 7-0 up against Glasgow Warriors, at Scotstoun, in their last eight clash after 26 minutes but had already lost captain Peter O'Mahony to injury. On a break up the left wing, Murray carried into contact but was flattened by Warriors outhalf Tom Jordan. Replays showed Jordan may have pulled a leg muscle just before he connected with Murray so he went all-out to stop the attack. The ball flew forward and both men dropped to the all-weather turf. The TMO review showed Jordan connecting with his shoulder into the chin of Murray. [caption id="attachment_287302" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Conor Murray is levelled by Tom Jordan.
