Argentina v England 2nd Test
66:05 minutes (match clock)
Hughes is at the back of a driving maul making ground, deep within England's half when Lavanni takes him out... in from the side/offside whatever. Totally clinical, totally deliberate and Hughes gets an injury to his knee as a direct result (he even looks as if he is crying!)
The action was deep inside the England half - I'd hope had it been within the Arg 22m it would have been a card. As it is, being in the oppo half (ie England's) it warranted no more than a PK - Lavanni didn't even get a talking to!. Is this the general rule ? A cynically. blatant illegal action can never warrant a YC (high tackles etc aside presumably) unless its in the "red zone" ?
