BT SPORT COMMENTATOR AUSTIN HEALEY AND THE RUGBY WORLD HAVE BEEN REACTING TO A ‘BLATANT’ EYE GOUGE AT KINGSTON PARK ON FRIDAY NIGHT. Wasps winger Josh Bassett was pretty angry, insisting


Mateo Carreras had made contact with his eyes – and the ugly pictures seem to support that. Healey commented at the break: “It’s pretty clear and I don’t see how Wasps benefit from this.


Play stops and if you watch what he does with his right hand now, he sneaks it in, has a little look, thinks no-ones looking, there’s no cameras, but there’s one on the other side of the


field that has seen exactly what you’ve done with your middle finger. You’ve had a little scratch there. “That is naughty, that is cheeky, that is contact with the eye, people call it


gouging. “You’re going to get a long ban for that.” He added: “He’s deliberately touched him on the eye, he might not have made contact with the eye, but there’s clear intent there.” SOCIAL
