IT’S HARD TO tell if there was a deliberate bite, but I think we can safely say there was a deliberate punch.
Mount Albert player Dion Snell somehow managed to stay on the pitch in this game in New Zealand, after throwing a ferocious haymaker to the face of Papakura’s George Edwards.
The reason? He claims Edwards bit his finger.
Edwards had carried a ball forward from deep when he was tackled by a couple of Mount Albert players, one of which was Snell.
Snell then pushed his hand into the face of Edwards to slow him from getting up, before quickly pulling back his hand when he felt contact with Edwards teeth.
After gently slapping Edwards, Snell then stood up, turned around, before unleashing a horrific punch to Edwards’ face, cutting his opponent above the eye.
Somehow, despite the clear punch, Snell avoided a card from the referee, although he hasn’t avoided punishment completely as the incident was put on report by the referee.
You stick hand and fingers in someone’s face good chance your going to a bite
Should have had his finger bitten off. Sc@@bag.
Whether there was a bite or not, where were the teammates of the guy who got punched?! They should have been straight in after that punch!
Hus hand was in the guys face. Deserved a bite. And a cheap shot punch then. Deserves a ban.
Rugby league ladies and gentlemen (slow clap)
Yea because Rugby Union is way nicer.
so you wrote about Union dying on your site. Union is getting harder to watch lately, all power , reset scrums and overuse of TMO , more stop than start
I was referring to how the sportsmanship and respect is far worse in rugby league. There’s always more fights in the 13 man game etc.
Still, I’m fairly chuffed that people actually read stuff on our site. Sound.
his hand
I’d knock someone out if they bit me!! I said it about Suarez and I stand by it now, it has no place in any sporting contest!
What about the World Biting Championships?
deserved the punch and more.
