@taniwharugby no of the commentators mentioned it but if it surfaces on social media I'm sure he won't be able to hide from it.
RWC Week 4: Springboks
Match thread
Tonga
Well, 3 or 4 of us have seen it from here. Presumably a tongan heard it with many more seeing it around the world.
So, nothing will happen then!
@DaGrubster yeah I just meant no one has mentioned it on the broadcast. I'm sure it will be dealt with after the game.
Shoulder to head, saw him coming, never got in a position to make a legal tackle so no mitigation. Genuinely baffled by that one

I’m guessing you’ve never played rugby?
Not since this head contact law has been consistently refereed all season until the World Cup
So many no-arms chop tackles are ignored when defending the try line so why did Cronan decide to interject for that one?
Re the head shot stuff, It’s so weird to watch as a NH fan, all year the interpretation would have been as per Luke Pearce’s reaction. The Aussies seem to have totally different interpretation (it was Aussie officials who cleared Farrell) and Aussie TMO disagreed with Pearce who then changed his decision
Ah, I misheard. Fair enough. I don’t understand what the mitigation was based on the decision making protocols though.
Tonga really need to pick better younger players that show some promise, and coaches who can get the best out of them.
@DaGrubster One has to ensure a certain level of deference to their betters by the ‘south sea islanders’

Libbok looks are a really good 10. But can he goal kick?
Who cares?
