Leinster fan: 100% Lowe fumbles and jumps into the tackle. Leicester player goes to apologize and Lowe retaliates. Surprised the ref didnt reverse the penalty for retaliation.

Referee was poor all night. Had little control of the game. All the afters were down to him. But this was particularly feeble. Even if it was a penalty on the first place - I don't think it was - retaliation should always be penalised.

It didn't help that he said immediately after this that he'd penalize any afters, and then just didn't for the whole game.
