Leicester Tigers' head coach Michael Cheika didn’t hold back after his team’s playoff final loss to Bath, slamming the decision to yellow-card Dan Cole for a mid-air collision with Finn Russell as "embarrassing for the game." Meanwhile, Bath’s Ben Spencer is riding high, declaring the "sky’s the limit" for his squad after their big win.

Editor’s Note: Controversial refereeing calls in high-stakes matches always stir up drama, and Cheika’s outburst highlights how much rides on these moments. For Bath, the win is a triumph; for Leicester, it’s a bitter pill—especially when a disputed call plays a part. This kind of post-match tension keeps rugby fans debating long after the final whistle.
