🚨A video has come out that the Springbok supporters are clinging on too in hope ..

One of the great players to ever play the game in Eben Etzebeth did one of the most foolish things in his career on Saturday by eye gouging.

Now a new video has come to light that the Springbok supporters are claiming is an eye for an eye.

Way too much nonsense and still pictures out there about Etzebeth getting gouged too and drawing parallels.

If you think this is a gouge then you’d literally want your eyeballs examined.

What Etzebeth did was unwarranted and inexcusable and he deserves to get the max ban https://t.co/0uJLHEvRUF pic.twitter.com/EEFkiqjrjA

Here are some of the comments online ..

You sir, speaks with a forked tongue. Blinded by your hate for Etsebeth and the Springboks – rings loud and clear. You are the type being compared to an empty can with one marble in it. We accept what he dis was wrong, but your refusal to acknowledge provocation is dishonest.

Didn’t watch the game but from everything I’ve seen it looks pretty clear cut. Mann citing for hands in the eye area. Eben citing for intentional to the eye area. No reason for the reaction and the last tussle seems weird as it seemed to be blowing over then he exploded again

Even if the guy gouged Eben (not saying he did) it wouldn’t be an excuse for what Eben did. I absolutely hated to see that. He build a reputation over 140 tests and fucked it all up in a few seconds

Agreed, the south Africans getting away with everything whilst everyone else gets penalised for anything has to stop, what’s worse is they claim everyone else cheats nonstop 🤷‍♂️😂

Shame I bet you had a sleepless night after that game but if you think that he won’t get judged by the panel then you should get your eyes examined. Plus I don’t think the more you cry about it will help the end result.
