SixNations officials have confirmed to the Irish Rugby Football Union that none of a number of referrals made by South Africa against Ireland players have been upheld by the independent citing commissioner that was present at the game between Ireland and South Africa in Croke Park on Saturday 28 November.
The Ireland management say that they are “very disappointed” that the name of an Ireland player was subsequently associated with eye gouging in the media as a result of one of these “unsubstantiated referrals”.
South Africa claimed that Jamie Heaslip had been involved in an eye-gouging incident with Springbok flanker Heinrich Brussow in the first half of Saturday’s Test.
The Springboks had issued a request to match citing commissioner Douglas Hunter to investigate their claims after lodging a complaint within the specified 12 hours from the final whistle of the match.
Hunter then had 48 hours to decide whether or not to cite any player but found that there was no wrongdoing.
The Ireland management issued a statement saying that they fully support and believe in the integrity of the citing process in place but believe that any referrals in this process should be made only when they are material and substantial.
The Ireland management stated that they will be making no further comment and consider the matter closed.

Life is about living – so live it as if it the last day without an ale. My gosh I would die and then living would be useless. Ciao
150@ Pille – We took part in the Kennetjie World Championships (heheehe) yearly as a family (brothers, cousins, uncles) against teams from all over, even Namibia, a number of years ago…. held at the Willem Prinsloo Open Air Museam grounds (between Pretoria and Dronkwordspruit).
Fark, the GBS Family won the World champs once too!!
It usually goes hand in hand with the drinking of lots of mampoer too…. eishhhhhh good thing it is only held once a year…. it takes one about a year to recover from the mampoer….

I went back there quickly, to Voldy, for the first time in months, didn’t have much time on this pc.
But let me just assure you, with hater (Rossoneri) and all those racist ‘gutter bloggers’ back there, I would rather crawl naked through an Aids infected male block in a SA Military ‘DB’ with a Hustler strapped to my back than to blog with those lowlifes….Sies man!!!
Tjeers mater, ek is nou eers uit tot die naweek 🙂
😆 Hey I am considered a ‘cool pommie’ cheers chaps…..!!
Quite made my day!
