That's pretty damning no? On the face of it (excuse the pun) it looks to me like contact with the eyes.

The power of Hanson and AB brand strikes again. That is a gouge. Argentina will certainly think so!

If the two players were reversed the Argie wouldve gotten life imprisonment or transportation

Another showing of just how classy NZ rugby is.

Oh I can't wait for when it starts to fall asunder for them....

my question on this is what were the other 20 TV cameras pointing at at the time of this eye-gouge? Seriously though if they prove Franks innocence as we are told, why don't they release them?

Looks like Coles got off because he failed to actually make contact with the eyes, but the intent was certainly there.
