Ben Flower's should be charge with ABH for the act he committed at a rugby match this evening. No question !

Good job it took place in a minority sport like rugby, so most people have not seen it.

Beg to differ usedbustickets, it was on all the national news channels. It was a vile attack and I felt quite sick when I saw it.

In which case Toky I apologise unreservedly for my comment about the incident...but not about the minority sport, which has always had a darker violent side.

Agreed H. I have just watched it on Youtube, I know it is a very physical sport but that was just an act of violence.

That's not John Terry just to the right of the referee is it ?

Hitting a man who is lying defenceless on the ground. Despicable. How long a ban will he get I wonder.

This is certainly criminal and the Police should deal with this not the sports officials

Hey, watch it pal. ;D. Rugby league is definitely not a minority sport in our part of the world. The incident was one of the worst I've seen in 40 odd years of watchin the game. Sending him off is only the start, he will probably be looking at a minimum of 3 months ban. Along with boxing Rugby is one of the toughest sports a person can play, so there's no place for cowardly acts like this.  >:(
