The citing is not for gouging,but for contact to the eye area. Accidential contact is still a 12 week ban.
How many times was Bakkies, busted after the game by the citing officer ?
Maybe if the bok management stop branding Etzedbeth as the team enforcer and let him get on with his game the citing officers(regardless of where they come from) and the IRB, will have to go through Bok game film with a microscope,looking for skullduggery from their well know enforcers.

@skopdiekan-11: Etzedbeth is not a no5 lock, he may be skilled enough to play 5 but his physical talents lend themselves more to a 4 lock...carrys in contact, big close in hits and ruck cleans are where he is best not a roaming ball playing no 5.

@j59-63: I know I've mocked others on here for citing dodgy media sources but i'm going to quote a book by a blogger. Keo's book about his time as media manager for the boks has a section on their reputation as thugs. If you google either of these phrases you should be able to see a google book preview "straeuli told me in cape town in august 2003 that he knew bakkies was guilty" "bakkies botha escaped a lengthy exile from bok rugby, despite later admitting his guilt to straeuli" There was also a line in there about him telling an Irish journalist that his ban was for gouging, but i can't find it in there as half the pages are missing

Reminds me of the citing of Frans Steyn after the Boks-Tonga classic at the World Cup of ’07. It turns out the Tongans were actually pressured into making a hurricane out of a ****, further fuelling our crazy notions of an anti-Bok conspiracy out there somewhere.
This is toilet, even by IRB overreactive standards.

@goodstuff-84:
He should be cleared, cannot see much in that view at all unless there is another angle of it.
Poms are doing it all wrong. I would have aimed for Lambie so that Morne starts

Bloody pommies scared their asses will be handed to them again and multiple pussies carried of the field because they can’t handle a physical battle with their Saffa bogey team! England are SA’s bunnies and if the poms don’t go spin some **** to ban Ysterbeth than it will be a frontal assault of note this weekend.

Hopefully Etsebeth will be cleared and then he will be motivated to do some legal damage this weekend!

@WP-Forever-71:
Not much in that at all…..but he is playing with fire.
He is very close to the eyes, he actually runs his hand over the eyes….its like a rugby league facial massage. But he has to be careful.
I think he has already been brainwashed by South African fans and media that he needs to be the new enforcer.
He has the goods to be better than Bakkies,but if he goes down the road of Bakkies, he will only be remembered as a dirty player and forgotten how good a player he was.

Glad I made somebody happy.

However we Kiwis are fed up with that tampon Stephen Jones constantly harping on about the Haka whilst 80,000 anal Poms at Twickenham howl during the Haka much preferring to see a dozen Morris dancers parading in the middle of the stadium.

Sad but true.

@Ricardo10-76: Ok. Officially spat out my muesli due to hysterical laughter.
These words: “I would give my right testicle to see those whining, complaint c**ts stuck in 5th place with a resurgent Wales or fired up Samoa as their opponents come London 2015″…..

made my day.

As a Kiwi looking at the incident Etzebeth has nothing to worry about.

I’ve had it with these fu*king Poms. They currently have their collective arses to the wall staring down the possibility of being thrown in the same RWC Pool in 2015 as NZ & either Wales or Samoa.

I would give my right testicle to see those whining, complaint c**ts stuck in 5th place with a resurgent Wales or fired up Samoa as their opponents come London 2015.

Meanwhile back to Etzebeth. Safe as houses (unless the English spin doctors) find him guilty of a mass murder somewhere in Hampshire between now & saturday.
