Both Wood and Beswick have marks/scratches below their eyes. Woods claims he lost it and retaliated to being gouged. The mark below his eye was clearly visible in a shot of him sat in dougout durin the second half.
Watching the replay wood looks to have his nose more than his eye, but its quite hard to tell, he did try to butt him though, that is plain to see.
terrible game spoilt by poor reffing. I think had Hock been binned for the slap it may have calmed things down a bit
Allowing Hock to stay on the field after a full-blooded strike to the face of another player - open-handed or not - was the beginning of the end for that game in terms of discipline; it became a farce.
Poor advert for the sport really and probably closed a weekend of good rugby on a sour note. Shame.
Went for the full day on Saturday really enjoyed it. Shame that a few of clubs fans didn't back it. Most of the fans decided it was better to wander around the pubs and just watch one game. Then watching most of the action.
