Not quite sure I fully agree with that but certainly not all one sided.

It was a yellow all day long.
Jimmy had a poor card early in his Wasps career, not writing him off yet. That said it was a yellow, surely?

I was a bit surprised that Ackerman didn't get a yellow too. His prolonged cynical cheating 5 metres from the line prevented us from playing the ball, which is why he was cleared out in that way

This is where a vocal authoritive influential player needs to get in the ear of the ref.. point out what's happening so that one of your team mates doesn't feel the need to do something like he did. If you think the ref is missing something then you're going to take the law into your own hands

It could have been two yellows, sure, I would not argue with that.

At Kingsholm it's a yellow for Fekitoa. At the Ricoh it's one for Fekitoa and Ackerman.
