It might be better quality, but Genge won't be found guilty of that's the only angle.
Was there any damage to Francis? That might add something.

Also been suggested that Genge may have been shoved from behind.
It would seem a nothing incident for him to lose it, so I'll wait to see if he's cited

I know my eyes are bloody old but I've now watched 5 or 6 times and can't see it.

I watched for a shove. There was no one.

Nothing so far from Welsh squad on it.

Genge himself claiming nothing.

I like the phrase Twitter TMO

If something happened it would/will go through official channels. Might be deciding right now whether to or not.

If nothing, then he might be sitting back enjoying the attention Genge is receiving.

The fact that Wainright was watching it all, and just casually saunters over to help Francis up, suggests that it wasn't some heinous assault.

Its also notable that Pivac has been complaining loudly about Poite's decisions, but hasn't mentioned this at all. If the Welsh thought a headbutt had been missed, we would certainly know about it by now.

Besides, we all know that direct contact to the head is now just a yellow card at most c.f. Tyrell Lomax

Genge not cited.
Bit embarrassing for all those who claimed a "clear headbutt".
Not much else to cling onto though i suppose.

Isn't that because Welsh only has 5 modern words so the rest are just English with y substituted in for e and i?
You piece of shyt! You utter pyeci of shyt!!!
Some of my favourite modern words are Welsh: popty ping for microwave, smwddio for iron [smoothio in phonetic English]

Welsh slang rather than Welsh words. Meicrodon/ffwrn meicrodon is the Welsh for microwave for example, though popty ping is a pretty good piece of slang.
