During the match the commentator stated that Jannie put his hand in the face of Australian player and it could have been near to an eye gouge.


Both Jannie and the Australian player had there backs to the camera.


Firstly I am not sure how the 100 year old Hugh Bladen was able to determine that it was nearly an eye gouge if neither player was facing the camera, and Jannie was also in front the of Australian player further obstructing the player.


Some of the posters here have declared his guilt.


If spectators had the same view how can it be determined that it was even remotely an eye gouge


I suppose Jannie blinded the player, but the Australian player just continued playing. 

The citing commissioners are also on holiday and cited a player for an elbow but just choose to ignore a far more serious offence.

IRB to introduce new rule of allowing players to wear eye protection in the presence of or in the vicinity of serial eye gougers  - work safety regulations!

 I'm sure if the player in question had been Dylan Hartley, many of you would have been calling for him to be banned for life and possibly worse, combined with a list of his past misdemeaners. Regardless of how well sighted we were to his alleged crime.
Ah well

 is this a sign of things to come on Saturday with Dr Jannie getting the Red Card he deserves? Even the SANZAR Judicial Committee seem strangely quiet on the matter when the evidence is there for ALL to see!

 Guys there is nothing we can do about officiating other than taking your case to the IRB - Good luck.
But while we are at it, it is a rough game and incidents will happen:

Ma'a Nonu yet again showed that whilst he is a brilliant Rugby player he has along way to go in the sportsmanship department with a disgraceful and obviously deliberate late and high shoulder charge on Springboks captain Jean De Villiers. Nonu has a poor disciplinary record with 5 yellow cards this year and perhaps this is playing a factor in his difficulty in finding a club to sign with for next season.

 KalaedFreddie and Nonu deservedly got a yellow card (and almost lost us the game ) but no mention whatsoever of the Dr's eye gouge! Paints a very bad picture in more ways than one.

 Clearly a deliberate eye gouge and yet again the refs let the filthy Bok forwards off with foul play. No wonder they keep on doing it!! Disgrace to their country.
