[QUOTE="Yoshimitsu, post: 961502, member: 71899"] For those interested (and I realise not all are... and I recognise the jeopardy in frame by frame stuff). Here's the Goneva one that I mentioned up-thread. For those that can access ITV player it's available here in full [URL]https://www.itv.com/hub/rugby-world-cup/1a9562a0109[/URL] 1:50:35 of the broadcast or 65:29 of the game clock. You can see it better in the video than the stills. I really would be interested in other people's thoughts on this one. Most incidents (Read the clear exception) are kind of legitimate actions that have been incorrectly executed (Mr Quill does not have that excuse). The Samoan ones horribly so. I'd argue Hodge less and Piers Francis is marginal (as post above). However this one? Uruguay 14 joins the ruck legitimately. Goneva wrestles him out, flips him onto his back, withdraws his arm and then smashes his elbow directly into the players face. It's a proper cheap shot and surely the kind of thing that World Rugby wish to eliminate? The ref is right there and looking straight at the incident. Is smashing people in the face in rucks acceptable? [ATTACH=full]7505[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
