Anyone else find this baffling? I mean, by comparison with other team games, it's generally very sporting and trouble free. The referee doesn't get any grief, players don't roll around whining, there's no crowd trouble, and any fights there are, are generally pretty manly. And yet eye gouging is relatively common. People were shocked and appauled when Mikle Tyson took a bite out of Evander Holyfield, but at least he didn't pull his eye out!

There are some horrible violent w*nkers playing rugby at that level though, and I hope the b*stard responsible gets a bit of time.

Dull manufactured game, imo.

The boxing glove on each hand stopped that being possible. He probably would have done it if he could.

Lots of rot talked about rugby players in comparison to footballers. Snobbery mainly.
