Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Sam Burgess gave his thoughts on the decision to card Dufty.

He said: “I don’t agree with that because I mean I think we’re all looking at the same thing, then we can see that there’s no malice.

“If anything, I think the player is hitting the ground rather than Matt Dufty getting his head in the ground, so hopefully we’ll get some common sense out of it.

“We all know the welfare of the player is the most important thing, but perhaps the question has to be asked of the player about the position he has placed himself in.
