That his actions didn't warrant an attempted blinding?

From Stinky...."....Not condoning it or trying to play it down,
...."
Well,some might say that, but in defending it at all, it is
difficult to not appear as though you are, tbh.....

Not supporting him at all. He deserved a ban and he got one. It
was clearly an overreaction.
My question was about the actions of the other player. The
report also states that he made contact with Ben's face, had his
forearm across his face, and was extremely aggressive.
For the hard of thinking (not you), there were several players
involved. I'm interested in the actions of others too. Eben has
been dealt with.

I really hope you're not a lawyer.

Me too.
I'm not sure what you're getting at, Quinky. Nothing in the
report suggests that Mann did anything to warrant getting
eyegouged. I think I'm missing your point, can you spell it out
for me?

From Etzebeth's Wikipedia article:
--- Quote from: Personal life ---
> ...Etzebeth's greatest fear is Wales flanker Alex Mann. Giving
evidence to a World Rugby disciplinary panel in December 2025,
Etzebeth admitted being afraid that Mann - who was four inches
shorter and 15kgs lighter - would "rag doll" him, causing him to
lash out and deliberately eye-gouge him in terror .[27]

I could, but you clearly struggle with comprehension. I've never
said his actions warranted getting eyegouged. Please show me
where I did, if I'm mistaken; if not, please stop trying to make
me looking stupid, as it reflects badly on you.
I pointed out that Mann - according to the report - wasn't a
shrinking violet. I don't know if pinning someone to the ground
with a forearm across the face is even a yellow card offence,
but it also states he made contact with Eben's face. I was
asking if you had any comment about Mann's actions.
For the avoidance of doubt, I don't think any provocation
warranted Eben's actions. I'm separating the two. Maybe you
could try to do the same.

Yes, I did fail to comprehend your point, which is why I asked
for clarification. Not sure why I'm getting this kind of
response.
Anyway, to answer your question, I don't really care about
Mann's actions. They sound like nothing out of the ordinary for
an on field fracas and as I didn't make any claim about him
being an angel or whatever I'm not sure why it matters at all.
It's extremely irrelevant compared to Etzebeth's deliberate eye
gouge a little while later, and I'm still lacking the reading
comprehension to understand why you're asking me about it.

It's called a discussion. It's where different people ask
questions of each other, rather than just listening to one
person's point of view.
