"Absolute idiot" - Referee missed Hill 'attack' on Swain prior to red card
Rugby NewsSaturday, 02 July 2022 at 11:57
There was some mutual hair pulling between Jonny Hill and Darcy Swain which the referee went to the screen to check the potential foul play.
It became clear that Hill was first to pull the hair before Swain went in with a headbutt.
England's Hill was sent to the sin bin and Australia's Swain SENT OFF.
However, the referee controversially missed a nasty double palm to face of the Wallabies lock from Hill earlier in the game.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
