This might seem all too familar for Ulster fans. A red card was brandished against a full-back after an in-air collision that meant Saracens' 15 Alex Goode landed on his head.

Bath were losing 18-3 at the hands of Sarries when the incident happened in the second half, so it's hard to say this had the same game-changing effect as Jared Payne's red card - but the incident is causing as much debate as that infamous Heineken Cup moment.

In the clip, you can see an out of control Watson career into Goode, which causes the Saracens full-back to flip and land on his head/shoulders. By the letter of the law, that's a red card. Eagle-eyed viewers will have also noticed Chris Ashton's actions in the lead up to the collision - which some are saying directly contributed to Watson losing his balance.

The referee decided on a red card, but was he right? Twitter was split:
