‘Where the hell did that come from?’ – Farrell slams rumours

#3. Tom Curry red card

He said: “Of all the exciting events of all the rugby that weekend, there was one big talking point that you’ve all been discussing. So, let’s take a closer look at the Tom Curry yellow card, which was later upgraded to a red card.

“Now, do we have foul play? Yes, we do. Do we have direct contact or contact with the head? Yes, we do. Do we have a high degree of danger? Yes, we do. So, we are already on all the criteria for a red card. Are you all with me? Yes, I believe that you are.

“So, what happens here is this: the Argentinian player jumps in the air, and then he comes down. Almost simultaneously, there’s contact with Tom Curry into the Argentinian player, and we have contact with the head.

“Now, it all comes down to something as simple as this: if you felt that Tom Curry was reckless and he could have done something to avoid what had happened, then we don’t have any mitigation, and we have a red card.”
