The Sharks took on the Cardiff Blues today in Wales and the World Cup winger Makazole Mapimpi could find himself in hot water after what looked like an attempt at going for the full-backs eye ..
Have a look below with some of the comments underneath ..

That is simply an eye gouge. No other way of putting it. https://t.co/szUVuWuKaH pic.twitter.com/WYFlrtgq2f

I’m sure this should be a pen to Cardiff rather than a scrum as a the player that dived on to the ball was in front of the player that knocked on?
Mike Adamson for you…. Im sure if this happened against an Irish team would’ve been a pen try and points deduction
Looking forward to how the unhinged majority of Saffa Twitter spin this !
That’s an absolute disgrace!
Disgusting
The guy started his sh*t with mapimpi by trying to pull his jersey over his head. Mapimpi just responded to the attack by defending himself. So what’s wrong about that. If it was Eben Etzebeth that guy would’ve gone hospital straight away
Mapimpi is a fool , always gets involved in afters , muppet of a bloke. Always pushing head into floor after tackles , always pushing and shoving. Get on with the rugby
Bulsh*t! That nr15 came intentionally for Mapimpi. What would you’ve done? Ran away?
I’m a grown adult so I’d probably just laugh at him
Mpimpi should have floored him.
Muppet of a comment by a complete and utter Muppet! What have you ever achieved in your miserable life?
Please tell all of us which games Mapimpi did this? I’ve watched a lot, a he definitely doesn’t “always” do this. If you’re referring to the Australian incident, better reffing would have avoided that rather than allowing the Aussies’ no arm head high tackles on him? But, you’re obviously a couch expert, so we’ll expect no intelligent, factual response.
Ben be objective & impartial, it’s rugby, contact sport where incidents occurs, otherwise don’t watch it…

Yes, Mapimpi and another one who always want to involve himself is Willie le Roux.
So intentionally trying to blind someone because they were attempting take the guys shirt off is reasonable. Wow
Ya sure bro. Eben never does shit
Typical neanderthal reply, should be banned for eye gouging
If a player is goaded, he will respond. They are only human!
You the Muppet you didn’t see the whole incident!!
Hey Rob,certain teams have players whose born instincts to defend originate from strong indigenous culture, ie, Maori, Samoan, Figian, Irish, Boks(blak&wyte).. so it’s like u rightly said! This not soccer (football), if you aggressively provoke, expect similar reaction, this sport is not for nothing “Rugby”
Leave mapimpi alone that guy could be glad he was not slapped
If I was Mapimpi, I would have blown his head off by my “killer hooker”. Mapimpi was provoked literally, after all this is rugby not a cci game!
Willie is seeking screentime the whole time
