[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1099537, member: 56232"] Don't really see what the debate is. De Klerk slapped him in the face. Did he intend to? I doubt it but was the result of him attempting to swipe at the ball him instead slapping White in the face? Yes. Barely any force, would have ruffled some moustache hairs but it was still a deliberate movement with his arm that resulted in contact with the face so a yellow. It was on the low end and more severe stuff has been missed (Johnny Hill springs to mind recently) but the fact that one illegal act is missed doesn't mean that lesser illegal acts should therefore be ignored when caught. Also it's hardly like De Klerk is whiter than White himself, he's not exactly well behaved either so it's not like this is in any way out of character. He took a calculated risk and got it wrong. Nothing serious but still illegal, simple as that really. White should have got a warning for his dramatics though. [/QUOTE]
