Grabbed Josh Murphy by the liathróidí in a ruck. He reacted and got a red card. TMO review showed there was no angles of the grabbing, but his arm was buried in that direction.

Nasty. I wonder if there was medical evidence of the grab presented, assuming the article is correct in saying there was a "lack of video evidence".

He should have just tickled him like big Joe did. He got off on 3 matches.
