South African superstar Evan Roos has drawn fire after a yellow card he received during the Stormers' 34-18 victory over Edinburgh this weekend.
In the 51st minute of the match, Roos engaged in a bit of grappling near a ruck with opposite number Nick Haining. It ended with Roos falling on top of Haining with his arm bent across his opponent's head/neck area.
Assessing the incident, referee Frank Murphy said: "What I'm seeing there is the two No.8s are wrestling at the ruck. Orange No.8 is bringing Blue No.8 to ground but then Blue No.8 uses unnecessary force and continues with the elbow, dangerously, onto the neck of the orange player.
