I see Adams is being pilloried by Irish refs for red carding Josh Murphy after Murphy punched Jan Hendrik Wessels in the face. Camera angles were inconclusive as to if Wessels actually grabbed his balls or put his hand in that area to push Murphy away.. what was Adams supposed to do? Seems like the right decision to me.

All Blacks legend Ma’a Nonu continues to defy age with ease, this time becoming a centurion for the third rugby team in his career.
The 43-year-old made his 100th appearance for French Top 14 side Toulon on Monday in a 24-minute stint off the bench, playing a part in his side’s 45-21 demolition of Racing 92.
Nonu marked the occasion by scoring his third try of the season – and once again breaking his own record as the oldest player to dot down in the French competition.
It is the third side Nonu has brought up 100 games for, alongside the All Blacks and Super Rugby side the Hurricanes, where he played 103 tests and 126 games respectively.

The 43-year-old marked the special occasion with a try in his third consecutive game.

They must have found better footage.
Hopefully Owen Doyle was not the influence in this decision as he had the same view of what happened as those of us watching on the telly.
Owen Doyle is a clown. -

100th game for this club.
What the fuck is this guy made of !?!?!
And that's without his 61 games for Welly, 39 for the Blues, 44 for San Diego and assorted other teams (I forgot he played for East Coast, that really wasn't fair on the rest of the Heartland Cup).

Owen Doyle is a clown.This is such a joke . There is no evidence to support the claim that Wessels grabbed Murphys balls. Wesssels gets a 9 week ban based on… Murphys word - the video shows Murphys not even looking at his groin area when it happened.
Wessels should sue the urc panel for defamation.

@Steven-Harris He plays like a cross between Israel Folau and Christian Cullen. Probably a question of when, rather than if, he plays for England. One hell of a talent that's for sure.
Yep sparky, I was gobsmacked watching that Saracens game with that kid. I know it's just one game etc, but at 19 he seems to have everything you could want in a winger. i agree about just watch the young fella, serious talent.

Thank you for confirming that Josh Murphy must be nothing more than a thug for thumping someone for no apparent reason then.

Why go there? Murphy obviously thought someone touched his balls. What is in dispute is that it could have been an accident. It doesn’t look like Wessels was looking at Murphy when this happened. Personally if someone grabbed my balls and squeezed, I don’t think I would be capable of throwing a punch immediately..
Is it possible that Murphy thought he was being targeted, but it was an accident?
Or are you comfortable going along with the verdict? -
@Dan54 Some more Noah Caluori highlights. I think he could be England's best player by the 2027 RWC.
I think he could have a similar impact on that tournament that another young man on the wing with a Biblical first name did on one 32 years before.

Anyone know whats happened to Tamati Tui ?, has he been released by Exeter Chiefs or injured atm.?
-
@Steven-Harris Tamati Tua is still on Exeter Chiefs' books, to my knowledge, but faces rehab from a significant Achilles injury:

Geez just watched another cracker of a game NH Saints against Saracens. By geez they like wingers scoring in multiples don't they? Freeman for Saints touched down 4 times! But bloody good entertaining game I thought!
