The bbc commentary made a big deal of it after the game. He should definitely be cited. Haven’t read anything about this happening yet.
EDIT: actually, according to my shitty French looks like he will be.

Would love to know why that wasnt looked at.
Yeah, he's been cited
Anyone else hate the 10 past 2 kickoffs, or the Friday nights, well they should just call them the Irish Kick off time, same again next season.
Why Irish?
Well it would be 2 full seasons of it at this stage, it's like they forgot we can play on a Sunday or at 5
Yes. Hate them. Although, not gonna lie, am quite pleased we have a whole extra day to recover over Scotland.
Injuries mean we’ve lost our two second rowers this weekend. Steyn and Jones have remained with the squad so that’s some good news.
Just got tickets for the game on Saturday. Feck yeah.
Did you have to sell one of your kidneys to fund them?
Both of them.
I like them if there are 2 good sides playing because it means I can watch a game live before going to bed, albeit a little late.
It’s very American, NBA games religiously start at 10 past, even if they’re scheduled to start on the hour. It’s fecking bizarre
I'm heading to my first Connacht game in the new stand tomorrow. Can't wait.
Temp is going to be 3 degrees with a "feels like" of -2
In other news, what could possibly go wrong...

Yey, looking forward to today….to get the rugby equivalent of having a baguette inserted in my anus
Never thought I’d see the day that I’d be waking up on a Saturday thinking about rugby 1st thing. Our biggest game in decades & for a whole generation, their biggest. Madness how we are in this position to begin with but credit where it’s due, they’ve proven me wrong in this campaign when I was fearing that we’d be in a scrap with Wales for the wooden spoon.
Just get the result in Dublin (easier said than done) and we’ve done what we needed to do. Anything after that is outwith our control but let’s put our ourselves in the best position to take full advantage of the unthinkable happening in Paris tonight.

This was great!! The new stand is incredible. Something for Connacht to be incredibly proud of.I'm heading to my first Connacht game in the new stand tomorrow. Can't wait.

They've also gone above and beyond to make the stadium accessibility friendly too.
Loads of areas for fans with limited mobility and even a sensory room. Fair play to them.
The result was excellent too. This Connacht team have a toughness now.
Last year, they'd have shipped way more points against an opponent playing the way Scarlets did. Instead, they ground our a very good win.
The Lancaster Effect.
It was also very enjoyable in the pub.
Very understandable!
Probably about 18 degrees warmer than I was
Yeah, it was a cold eve in Connacht last night.
The funny thing for Ireland and Scotland fans is one of that brethren will have to barrack for England in the late game.
Having the Irish core of this thread cheering for England is the only pleasure I’ll take from this rotten series
C’mon England!
Can’t say I’m ready for whatever today throws our way.
Ireland vs Scotland should be a good game because Luke Pearce is the referee.
FFS. English refs always screw us.
You can’t seriously be complaining about Pearce as a choice of ref. It doesn’t get much better than that
I’ve too much scar tissue from English refs over the years. Can only tar them all with the same brush.
Irish and French have been spoilt with success in this sport (even the English & Welsh to an extent). Can you please be gracious and just let us have our moment of sheer exuberance & ecstasy for once in this sport? It’s been a tough ride these last 27 years.
Im seriously hanging onto the hope that we can finally put out an 80 min performance today. But it’s been a loooong time since we won in Dublin.
The Irish have bullied us upfront for 17 years. We’re gonna miss those two second rowers massively.
However with Finn there’s always hope.
That's not a bad start.
Fabulous rugby from Scotland to respond. That pass from Russell was a beauty
This could be a try fest.
Ding Dong!
21 points in 11 mins is quite the opening.
Luke Pearce: ''quick reset''. Well done mate.
No doubt about that try.
Do replays exist?
