[QUOTE="The Jones Boy, post: 814856, member: 70721"] As a true blue born and bred Kiwi who loves his All Blacks my take on it is this... Franks SHOULD have been cited. Anyone going for the face should be cited. Leave the face/head alone. Players can scrag the collar or pin an arm and drag it away but keep ALL players away from the face and head. It's not a streetfight it's rugby and there's no need for that kind of filth. If it needs a new law give it one and lay it down like a blanket across every level of rugby. I love watching hard tackles and seeing bodies hitting the ruck, but this face massage nonsense has no place in rugby. The Argie boy got what he deserved in the RWC and Franks didn't in the RC. It's not right. Sure his opponent is fine and the media has moved on but it shows there is a need to clean up this area of the game with a more accurate ruling. If you're messing about with an opponents face like Franks was, then you should give up a penalty, get a yellow card and a citing, game moves on and the players know where they stand. [/QUOTE]
