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.

Munster went 14-0 ahead, soon after the sending off, when Antoine Frisch crashed over. Munster pressed for another score while Glasgow tried to hang on until half-time.
A victory for Graham Rowntree's side would tee them up with a URC semi-final against Leinster at Aviva Stadium, next weekend.
