“We’ve seen this time and time again, and he’s gotten away with this one. Whether it was a red card or a yellow card is subjective, depending on your stance, but it was definitely foul play of some sort. ”

Owen Farrell could find himself in trouble as there’s a chance this could be cited and the 31 year old could miss out a game or two in the Six Nations. Owen Farrell does have a history of this, will the Lions out-half get away with this one?
I assume the question is rhetorical, in my opinion most folk will be shocked n stunned if he suffers any form of punishment!
