Incredible game, I’m still in shock! Come on Quins!! Shame about that tackle, It was high, I think there was mitigation that it hit the shoulder and then the head, so yellow? I believe Quins had done enough to win by that point and after that record breaking come back, probably deserved to win. Can’t wait for the final!

The highlights of this game should be 110mins long! Great rugby.

That was like Calcutta Cup 2019 all over again. What an advert for rugby! That tackle at the end is like the countless other reds given out this season, but I think Harlequins would have still held on for the comeback

If you look at the replay there just isn't any contact with the head. The Quins player's arms are well below the shoulder, there's contact with the Bristol players shoulder, which was dipped, but at no point is there contact with the head.

Also neutral here. I am okay with them clearing the tackle, even if it was a bit touch and go - at least they looked. There was another, very important as it turns out, poor decision though, and that was the kick chase that led to the Quins first try where every chaser was in front of the kicker. 2 touch judges, a referee and a TMO (protocol aside) and this crap is still let slide. Hope the refereeing in the upcoming Lions tour is better than what we have seen on offer in Premiership and Trans Tasman; would hate to see it marred by poor officiating.

Congratulations Harley Quins! I hope Radradra makes it back home in time for Fiji vs All Blacks test match.

the fact this is number 7 on trending is proof of just how good this game was

The best game of rugby I have ever seen. Full of attacking running rugby right from the start. Twelve tries. No tedious scrum resets. No argy-bargy between the teams. No boring repeated attempts at simply barging over the line (hello Exeter!). Strong and clear refereeing (OK one controversial decision, but that would not have changed the winner). Doubtless there will be some "real" rugby people on here saying they would like to see more "conflict" or "grunt", but to me this game was rugby at its best.

Now which was better: this high scoring, massively skilful and physical game, or the 0-0 borefest served up at Wembley? And that final tackle? Nothing wrong at all. The TMO got it spot on.

As a Quins fan I agree, probably a yellow as the player did change height and it was shoulder to head. But, having watched the full match, the highlights make this seem like a giant moment in the game. There were 20 tight calls that could have changed the game that went for and against both teams. I think it is a bit naïve to point at one incident and say that was the only reason a team lost, or to only look at calls that went against Bristol. That's football fan type stuff. It was a great game

Both Exeter and Quins are excellent teams and will be a fab final.

Incredible comeback from Harlequins !

Both teams deserve their result. When you lead 28-0 a semi-final you've got to respect the game and your opponent... Bristol didn't take it seriously, they didn't take some easy kicks offered to them, didn't attempt the drop goal, they just wanted to look pretty for the camera but that's not how you win titles.

Not a Quins or Bears fan but this was a great game of rugby and a great advert for the game judging from the highlights. With all that talk about the tackle at the end its great to see sanity and logic prevail for a change. It wasn't high, it wasn't late and he didn't tackle with malice and he had his arms wrapped around the player. The head of the tacking player's actually hits his opposition's shoulder so he doesn't make any contact with the head. Agree that there needs to be more consistency but that's only because of the legit tackles being penalised and so it becomes the norm. Armchair refs need to stop getting their panties in such a bunch.

I think it should have been a penalty minimum and probably a yellow. The fact that he somehow didn't make contact with the head was luck not judgement. It was reckless play. He did not drop down to make the tackle and the ball carrier had not unexpectedly changed levels. It seemed like they were looking for an excuse to not call it. They are supposed to be making the calls based on how dangerous the play is, not whether somebody actually dies.

The law is not about making contact with the head or not. Clearly when the head is hit there is no doubt that the tackle is a dangerous one that COULD lead to impacting the head, because it did. In this case the head was not hit but the tackle was still illegal and it was a foul. He also didn't wrap in the initial contact. It was a bad decision.

Looking at that Chisholm try again the offside is even more blatant. The quins player lying on the wrong side of the ruck gets to his knees at 3:00 tripping the Bristol SH and disturbing his pass allowing quins to gather. It was so noticeable I’m wondering what law exempts it. I remember Conor Murray once got a penalty out of England by pretending to trip over an England player at the base of the ruck. He was just doing it to make a point and in that case the England player didn’t suddenly jump to his knees to trip him
