[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 911803, member: 40658"] Indeed. Found this article too: [URL]http://www.americasrugbynews.com/2017/10/04/lavanini-sets-new-pumas-yellow-card-record/[/URL] What is interesting, and this won't ever show on the stats, is the amount of times he wasn't carded or cited. But in this article they mention that grass cutter he made on Nathan Hughes, which broke his knee. Infringements like that won't ever show on stats, except as a penalty conceded. The thing is that the bad boys of rugby will always have a few cards and stats against their name. But it is the things they got away with that remains stuck in people's minds. It might not be extraordinary evidence, but then again, we all know the history so just because a minority few would look past this, doesn't take away the fact that those incidents happened. Anyway, this discussion can drag on forever, but to prevent the detriment of this thread being derailed, I propose we either end the discussion on Lavanini's fowl play, or start a thread on it's own.
