Go look at his 'charge down' of Darcy Graham's clearing kick. Not even a penalty given for it. It looked much like the last one shown here. Farrell is cynical and dangerous.

Hard and uncompromising definitely, dirty (sometimes) but players like Farrell would have got theirs on the field, justice would have been served within the 80 Mins.

He hasn't been named in the team this weekend funnily enough 😄 And World Rugby are appealing the decision, which is VERY telling. He's extremely likely to get a ban. The *minimum* is 6 weeks - with mitigation - but since he has a history of it; has already done the tackle school previously; and argued against being at fault originally: there's a strong chance he'll miss the WC entirely. Which is only right IMO. If he can't/won't abide by the laws, that's on him 🤷‍♀️
