With bothsides falling foul of referee Rob Debney and conceding a stream of penalties at rucks and scrums the match was a stop-go, error-strewn affair from the fifth minute front-row flare-up which handed Cipriani his opening penalty.
Cattermole got his second yellow card and was sent off for a foul on Teemu Tainio five minutes from time and, as bothsides pushed forward for a late winner, substitute Daryl Murphy failed to get enough on a header from six yards out.
