Could have sworn I saw the ref looking at this incident as it happened, in real time looked like he may have missed him. Hope he gets the length this surely deserves!

I think it is one of the most violent acts I have seen on a professional rugby field - it was a considered raking (not a stamp) onto a players head.

There is a HUGE difference between a stamp (which would have been bad enough) and a rake - especially when to the face.

I played for 25 years, in an era when rucking was still allowed, and never saw anything like that on the field. How the ref or linesmen didn't see it I have no idea.

This guy will be getting a very, very lengthy ban - and quite right!

What the hell was he thinking? And anyone who says that frustration played a part (with Glasgow infringing) is talking complete nonsense - this guy is a professional rugby player. Frustration does not cause you to be a complete and utter thug and risk seriously harming someone by raking their face while they are defenceless on the floor.

I'd give him a year - without a doubt! It doesn't matter that serious injury wasn't caused - there was definite intent!
