I P Knightley Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) Chilean prop being yellow carded with a review to confirm it's not a red should be an example to all those English pundits who think Curry should have got away with his assault. If anything, the trouble is that he had committed to going low so didn't have eyes on his man releasing the ball.ย ย So far, a much more enjoyable game to watch than that awful affair yesterday.ย ย Edit: no sooner posted than a second Chilean gets a yellow - this time a similar collision to Curry's one.ย Edited September 10, 2023 by I P Knightley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
