I honestly think if you're cited for eye gouging you should be automatically banned, and have criminal charges filed against you...It's interesting that people can commit very serious, and dangerous assaults on a sport's field and not go to court...but eye gouging..nah, fucking disgusting...they go!
SpiltSunlight there's been at least 1 soccer player from the English football leaue went to court on charges of assault commited during a league match.
Not too extreme at all. Very easy to blind someone when intentionally eye gouging. All players should know never to do it, and a life ban law would be just the thing to prevent any temptation.
Austin friggin Healy "there's nothing in that" re the eye gouge, prat! If that would have been inflicted on him he'd have thrown his dummy out the pram and performed a right tantrum, such an easy player to wind up!!!
Fitting the stereotypical American outlook I have never watched rugby. Randomly ran accross these clips and it is savage. I love it. Of course I didn't like the 'sighting' bit of it but wow. What an interesting game. I applaud how thorough the refs are in their discussion and assessment of penalties. Wish American sports were just as transparent. This new fan will be watching tons of rugby videos. Cheers.
Hey Ant V Don't be afraid to ask if you don't understand.There are a few dickheads out there who will be stupid about your questions, but the rest of us are real fans and help out the new guys as much as we can.
"no, hm, that's just handbags" as it's always repeated in france: there are laws for french players and new ones for british players. how many months took dupuy and attoub for the same crime? oh yeah, 6 months and 1,5 year of bans. how many for cueto? 2 months. speechless...
Remember this clip was from before the TMO was allowed to look at things like this and issue advice to refs on field. At this time refs only had linesmen's help.
@zisssssou completely different, im not excusing this eyegouge, its absolutely disgraceful, but in the intent it was kinda in the moment, Dupuy is sneaky litlle shit gouging a first time checking if the ref isnt looking and then gouging a second time.
I wish Healy and all the commentators would shut up while the ref is speaking and why so many of them, sometimes three who all like the sound of their own voices 🤐
Strange when rugby was amateur status there was none of what you get now so much thuggery when there is more coverage to get you sent off . in fact they now do it right in front of refs and linesmen not to mention mouthing it to refs
If brains were dynamite Austin Healy wouldn't have enough to blow off his cap. "There's nothing in that" he says as he's watching Cueto use his fat fingers to provide retina surgery to another player. Eye-gouging is a serious offence and needs to be dealt with in a serious manner so that it gets stamped out of the game (and stamping, don't get me started on that).

"nothing in that"? Eye gouging is nothing?

So Dont play and watch rugby idiot

Why bother the court, you just talk to your romanian friends lol
Eye gouge should mean instant life ban.
Paulie Jay that's too extreme

Since when is eye gouging nothing?
Bobby Thompson most referees ignore it. Part of the game.
I don't know about a life ban, a prison sentence would be in order.

Used to think very highly of Cueto. Not after seeing this though.

How can anybody say there is nothing in that! Are my ears playing tricks on me! I take it the person making comment had been smoking something
@richiewhe
i think it's austin healey saying that?
"no, hm, that's just handbags"

speechless...
That Ref couldn't sound more like Dionne Dublin if he tried.
The commentator should get a life ban. Fair enough he wants to punch him but why dose he default to an eye gouge, is it normal in rugby.
it's normal for Austin Healy
Why are eye gouges acceptable in rugby? I've never seen a red after one.
Very hard to actually spot for the ref. If they're spotted, automatic red no questions asked
They are not acceptable, ever.
Remember this clip was from before the TMO was allowed to look at things like this and issue advice to refs on field. At this time refs only had linesmen's help.
A great role model! lets eye gouge and get away with it! :)
Truly astonished that the heaviest criticism from the pundits was aimed at briggs.
@zisssssou completely different, im not excusing this eyegouge, its absolutely disgraceful, but in the intent it was kinda in the moment, Dupuy is sneaky litlle shit gouging a first time checking if the ref isnt looking and then gouging a second time.
Eye gouging should be an immediate six month ban. But it's usually seen to be acceptable in rugby.
Austin Healey! enough said! nothing in eye gouging! wonder what his response would be if it was one of his kids! Prat!
That behavior doesn't fly even in MMA.
Can the commentator shut up so we can hear the ref
Make it worthwhile?? Break some bones?? What an ass thing to say on TV!!!
Not really
Commentators r sooo stupid...
Nothing in that - was digging his fingers in his eyes.
Send off was a complete joke.

Gentlemen's game!
I hope you are being sarcastic!
@@Leifr952 yes of course, its what rugby fans call their game
@@JRK2669 Okay. Because it's not a gentleman's game. Far from it.
@@Leifr952 Well duhhh
@@JRK2669 Glad you agree 👍
