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.

#113 The Pill – we are a wealthy country mate! Don’t know about being the second richest city in Europe though. What is the negativity?

I think Oirish is referring to hurling played with a hurling stone, not hurling with too many shooters down the gullet….
#119 Used to enjoy Big Hit as well, he used to rile those AB and Convict bloggers up, was hysterical to read

#126 The Pill – Remember we are different countries and don’t support each other easily. The jealousy is rife. The Bravehearts are close to our hearts though. Exactly what their name says.
#134 Yep I saw it in Braveheart the movie……
Don’t worry The Pill it is a stupid sport mate. Huge support though. I personally don’t enjoy it.
If any country has had it’s fair share – its the Scots!
#133 Nee man. Jy kan darm nie die Irish compare met dit nie. Uniquely Saf Efricen.
I have Isigidi in my sights – hmmm next mission impossible – well at this rate highly probable.
Fark, I had it wrong too… hurling is like hockey… with sticks that have a paddle at the end… farking weird lot of Oirish Leprechauns….
136 Irish we Afrikaners also have some peculiar `sports` dating way back.
At this rate GBS should be worrying – hehehe – moving the wall of Shame quickly. hehehe
@140 GBS – yes we are using their Park for rugby now. Croke park is packed when a hurling match is played. Croke Park is not a very attractive stadium but then so isn’t hurling. lol.

Boeresport. A term given to some strange activities like kennetjie, streepsak racing, and something resembling a Gladiators ( tv gameshow ) event, but a bit toned down.
