North Knee

Looks like George North is likely to be cited for a knee to the head of one of the Italians. Id say having seen it quite a ban as well

I don’t it’s my opinion have you seen the video surely a citing a knee to the head is very serious the vid is out and about and world rugby have to do something north has already been banned this year

It was on Twitter I’ll try find it

Don't recall the George incident but i thought Liam was lucky not to get a card for that clear out.

I cant find it now but the incident happened when north was on his feet and an Italian was hanging onto him north then swung a knee and made contact with the Italians head

I’m

Pretty sure citings need to be done within 48 hours of the game finishing

Not even a YC for either incident after the out cry about Kieran Tredawell and the TMO on this site I think considering Liam Williams previous history he should get full quota of weeks and George North’s knee to the head was a deliberate action no question of accidental contact. In Williams case you could argue that the strike to the head was more of an accident due to his badly judged dangerous clear out. Couldn’t believe that he went un penalised nor his team mate who ran in to attack an Italian player at the end of the incident.

If they are cited and cannot believe they won’t be it will be a bit of Karma.

I think I’d trust neutral officials of Wayne Barnes and his TMO than some official employed by the same organisation as owns the side whose player is the accused. Add to that Macneice s deliberate persuasion of the neutral referee away from his red card verdict and there can be no comparison between the incidents.

Barnes said at the time that they’d looked at Liam Williams’s actions and there was no foul play.

Any offence taken on board is only a literate/cy consequence. Every attempt at humour is just that. No personal insult intended. Standards lowered for trolls.
