All Black condemned for 'horrid' act that decked Faf de Klerk and appalled viewers

Former All Black Aaron Cruden has been widely condemned for a "horrible" incident that saw him sent off in Japan after leaving Faf de Klerk sprawled on the turf.

Cruden inexplicably used his head and shoulder to clear out the South African scrum-half, connecting directly with his face during the Japan Rugby League One match between Tokyo Sungoliath and Canon Eagles.

The 17th minute clash makes for grim viewing and has sparked a strong reaction from fans.
