One fan wrote: "I would rather spoon my eyes out than be Obano right now. Imagine having to sit on the sidelines and watch your team struggle for 60 minutes in the final."
A second said: "Mad start!! I agree it’s a red. But really feel for Obano. Gutted for him. Up hill battle for Bath against a red hot Saints team. Seen it happen before though!"
Another commented: "How? It’s a red card and he’s done his job by awarding it. He’s gifted nothing. You can see from how Obano immediately reacts after the hit that he knows."
A fourth added: "Oh great - I’ll switch over. Biggest game of the season over after 20 mins. Yes Obano got high - but the sport has lost its way if it thinks this is credible way of promoting the sport."
