[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 494758, member: 20605"] The plot thickens. It seems that SANZAR have their suspicions about this so-called eye gouging incident. Greg Peters (SANZAR CEO) has reported that they will be sending an official memo to ALL Super Rugby franchises that if they make an on-field allegation of foul play resulting in a White Card, they will be expected to follow it up with a formal complaint to the Citing Commissioner, and that failure to do so could bring sanctions against the team under SANZAR's code of conduct for making a false complaint.
