Beast calls out Ellis Genge

[Lemoentjie]

Nothing would make Genge drop the tough guy act like having to scrum against Beast

Loads of delicate poms in the replies

[Torquemada 1420]

The answer in regards sanction (at least from without) is nothing.

What that does signal to me is how much discipline is breaking down amongst Eng players. Not sure how TMO missed that but for me it's red. Yellow minimum.

As an aside, this is another example of why players should stay OFF social meejuh.

[JM2K6]

Why is it a red card? He doesn't strike the twat, just rubs his forearm on him. It'd be a yellow, though, and very poor discipline.

[Lemoentjie]

Genge responds:



Making as if Beast wouldn't destroy him in any physical confrontation

[Lemoentjie]

'Rubs his forearm'

He pushes his elbow into his face

England have never really recovered from 2019 RWC final. It broke them, I guess it can be hard to get confidence back after being destroyed physically and tactically.

Nah. He's rubbing his forearm in his face. Hence no citing.

Saffers don't get to complain about shithousery, given you guys are number one for this sort of niggly nonsense, and "Beast" looks a right twat for threatening someone on Twitter, the big jessie.

Genge is a dickhead but no one comes out of that spat smelling like roses.

[tc27]

Saffers beat us comfortably in the RWC final yet we are still apparently living rent free in their heads?

Hopefully the Boks can get back to playing games so they can move on.

[OomStruisbaai]

Vok me. There is nothing in it. Look like Beast are struggling being a retired player.

[Lemoentjie]

Attacking a man who can't defend himself makes you a massive kunt

[assfly]

Bit of a nothing story if you ask me.

Playing attacking rugby is great. Its part of the sport. Next time he'll be on the receiving end. Maybe Corne Krige should have a talk with Beast.

[sockwithaticket]

Not sure why Beast felt the need to get involved and anyone who was in a team with Bakkies Botha, but never called him out, should probably keep schtum about the cheap shots of other players.

It's not a good gif but isn't all that contact to the neck/face? In which case that's almost always a red these days.

I don't think there's a law in the law book that specifies that rubbing your forearm in a player's face is a red. Happy to be corrected.

Nah, they normally talk about a strike if it's not a tackle. It's very, very, very rare to get a red for this sort of thing.

There isn't a Law stating that sticking your finger up your opponent's arse is a red. What's your point?

My point is that unseemly as it is. Reds for physical acts are generally handed out for offenses with a high degree of danger.

Something that's not the case here.

Yep, but obviously not to your fellow countryman who wants to act like a shit stirring twat

Nah. He's rubbing his forearm in his face. Hence no citing.

Contact with the eye area.

Cripes, you must have better eyesight than me then.

No hands near the eyes, though, which is what that law is about.

Maybe. This is repeated (so meditated), to the face area against an opponent unable to defend himself on the floor.

My reaction, had that been Haouas, would have been "you f**king moron, you just got yourself sent off".

There is no contact with the eyes. "Contact to the eye area" is not the only law which can result in red..

Well I think we can all agree that Genge is a moron, prone to doing something stupid whenever he's held in at the ruck. Albeit you give him too much credit on the meditated. He doesn't seem to think particularly hard about anything.

That doesn't make it a red card offence though.

Thanks but I was replying to someone who was talking about that law so hey

................not forgetting that the Citing Officer who would have seen the incident from all available angles didn't report it for disciplinary action!

You may be right on the card. If I were the ntl coach, he'd be gone. Too many headcases in the Eng side already.

[Torquemada 1420]

I know. I saw that in the Torygraph. But you can only cite for red level offences which means he got away with his idiocy so expect to see it again at a cinema near you.

Yeah agree. For the moment anyway. He's not good enough to justify carrying his aggro

[Sandstorm]

It's Sexton. Genge should get the Key to the City.

[Chilli]

Beast should maybe not get involved.

[shaggy]

What triggered it? There was something more than just being held in? A bite?

[Margin__Walker]

Nah, just being held in. It's the second time he's lost it at some minor shithousery this 6N.

He's such an easy mark for the opposition.

Must admit to smiling a bit when Sexton was complaining to the ref about it and Genge told him that 'Grandad was holding me in' or something to that effect.

[Paddington Bear]

South African rugby criticising cheap shots. What a world we live in

He’s a Zimbo. Angels.

[average joe]

Nothing in it. The backs always came complaining to me "no8 roughed me up, the hooker grabbed my balls". My reply was always the same" don't worry boet, I'll get him for you at the next ruck"

[assfly]

Yep, but obviously not to your fellow countryman who wants to act like a shit stirring twat

It's Twitter ffs. Every second person is a shit-stirring twat.

Ah I see.

But my point on Twitter still stands. Bloody awful place.
