  1. Yeah it’s another Dylan isn’t it? He’s clearly held back but that reaction is totally unacceptable.

  2. ‘appears to strike’ …Was this written by Hooper’s defending barrister at a discipline hearing?

    The guy HAS to be banned and miss the entire RWC.

    Dont grab him as his support could mean try or no try. Referee should thank him for pointing out the original breach of the rules.
