Plenty of opportunity for thuggery in rugby , always has been

Welsh prop , taken out with that dirty head butt by the French forward ......he was off balance and it shifted his weight and it broke his leg

Ricky something ......part time fireman .....had to retire the break was so severe

Farrell is a dirty git but all sides have these thugs ?
Yes its very bad.

The sport is in grave danger due to law suits from players who suffer brain damage sustained from years of tackles like this. World Rugby and the constituent unions have been harking on about player safety and this decision makes a mockery out of it.

World Rugby should appeal this decision and Farrell should get a minimum 6 game ban.
