So is Alan Mansell now going to be cited for slander against Eben Etzebeth not to mention bringing South African rugby into disrepute by giving false accusations which clearly were incorrect if you see the footage. He's also disrupted this weeks training, hopefully not too much...

Saw it, it was a nothing, his hands were around the chest in the maul it slipped up to hold his head, maybe for half a second, but he let go. Fingers were on this face / jaw, but definitely no where near the eyes, well that was my impression

Justice prevails. Where are all the smug clowns who had convicted Etzebeth for, in the words of APV1, "gouging someones eyes out with his studs" ? PATHETIC and downright spineless attempt by ingerlund to disrupt the Boks ahead of the test with absolutely no regard to the impact on a 21 year old's career.

All anyone needs to know about this FARCICAL citing is the following:

Etzebeth was cited on Monday by Alan Mansell of England (FUNNY THAT) under Law 10.4 (m) for ¿making contact with the eye(s) or eye area¿ of flyhalf Greig Laidlaw

Irish IRB judicial officer David Martin ruled that the contact in the area of the Scotland player¿s eyes was accidental, and as such did not constitute foul play.

Hi PR,

Seeing as this story created rather a stir, wouldn't it have been better to put the news of the clearing on your home page? Just asking.
