Progressive Rugby has condemned the Premiership Rugby match officials for overlooking the "dangerous play" on Owen Farrell during the Saracens vs Harlequins match. Saracens dominated the game, with Farrell celebrating his 250th appearance in style. However, controversy arose when a Harlequins player appeared to make a reckless tackle on Farrell, sparking a melee on the field. Despite commentator Austin Healey calling for a penalty, the incident was ignored by the officials. Progressive Rugby criticized the lack of action taken by the officials and called for an explanation.

Neither TNT Sports nor Premiership Rugby have commented on the incident yet.
