The Scotland centre got carded for a deliberate knock-on against Ireland
Patient and powerful Ireland triumphed 31-16 against Scotland clash in the Autumn Nations Cup, but much of the chat around the match may come down to a Duncan Taylor yellow card in the 31-minute mark.
Take a look at this clip here. What do you think about it?
It’s safe to say, the decision by referee Matthew Carley drew some interesting views on social media. Here are a few of the reactions on Twitter.
Clear as mud, maybe, but it is also maybe worth asking what the big moment says about the Scotland team though? Below, Jamie Borthwick lays out his won views.
Though it was a crap call to bin Duncan Taylor, for it to affect Scotland for almost the next 50 minutes was worrying. Great start but the repeated mental lapses after the yellow let Ireland off the hook. Overall a poor result and performance.
All we can deduce from the reaction on social media is that there will always be a clear divide between those who think it is a yellow and those who thought it was a penalty at most. That’s sport!
That's an abysmal decision to yellow card Duncan Taylor. Really, really poor.
What did you think of the incident? Did you think the Scotland and Saracens centre deserved to spend ten minutes in the sin-bin?
It is also worth noting that this was Taylor’s first ever yellow card at Test level.
