[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 814690, member: 55747"] I know they closed the Aus vs NZ threat but i believe this is worth a read. WR's vice president view on Franks' incident and how SANZAAR dealt with it should be news worthy enough. [i][COLOR=#242424][FONT="]In an interview with Kiwi news site [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#FF0000][FONT="][URL="http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/all-blacks/83841687/world-rugby-vicechairman-pichot-sees-inconsistency-in-owen-franks-nonciting"]Stuff[/URL][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#242424][FONT="], Pichot revealed that he received a call from Argentinian lock Mariano Galarza on Wednesday, who was suspended for nine weeks after being found guilty of eye-gouging All Blacks lock Brodie Retallick during their opening World Cup match. [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#242424][FONT="]The suspension rightly ended Galarza’s tournament, but SANZAAR’s failure to consistently apply the game’s laws angered the second row forward.

[/FONT][/COLOR]"I cannot explain to Galarza who was suspended for an offence on an All Black when he touched his face and the same case or worse last weekend doesn’t even get cited. It’s wrong. How do I explain to Galarza when he phoned me that he was left out of the World Cup from the start to the finish and another player in the same situation one year later doesn’t even get cited. What do I tell him as an administrator of the game? I am completely embarrassed. He dreamed of playing in a World Cup and I can now not tell him that it was fair."[/i] [COLOR=#242424][FONT="] Source: [/FONT][/COLOR]http://www.punditarena.com/rugby/adrumm/world-rugby-chief-left-embarrassed-sanzaars-handling-owen-franks-incident/[COLOR=#242424][FONT="] [/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
