Ireland need to win their final game of the World Rugby U20s Championships with Georgia to confirm their place in the semi-finals. It didn't start very well, when Georgia scored their first try of the tournament to take a 7-0 lead.

That didn't last very long though, because from the restart, Ireland were able to score in the corner after a brilliant Hugo Keenan step. But that wasn't the only gift that Ireland got. The referee went to the TMO after a report of foul play, and sent Georgian flanker Ilia Spandersashvili off for a reckless kick on Munster lock Sean O'Connor

You can see the incident below, but arguably the best time to see it is at the start of the clip, not during the TMO review. There was another Georgian acting up, on the next ruck - which the TMO didn't notice.

By the letter of the law it's the right more.it seems harsh and the intent seems there to kick out - even if it's to get O'Connor away from him. What do you make of it?
