Two things.

1. Fair play to CJ Stander for not retaliating. 2. Josaia Raisuqe can expect a ban. The first half was just coming to a close when Raisuqe got a rush of blood to the head and appeared to jam his fingers into the eyes of Munster captain CJ Stander in the Champions Cup clash in Paris. The decision was a stupid one, let alone vicious, and referee Nigel Owens didn't hesitate to pull out a red card, at the second time of asking, after consulting with his TMO. Rugby fans were in no doubt about the decision. https://twitter.com/sportsbeefpod/status/685878354101276673 https://twitter.com/ThomasCasey9/status/685878081769312256 https://twitter.com/bencoles_/status/685877907798003712 https://twitter.com/izita_monstar/status/685877716005064707 https://twitter.com/rm_evans/status/685878540076716032 But Munster couldn't make their man advantage pay as they crashed out of Europe by an embarrassing scoreline of 27-7.
