🚨 Rugby Drama Alert! 🚨
Big news in the rugby world as England U20 star Seb Kelly faces the music after a shocking on-field incident. 🏉❌
During a tense Junior World Championship semi-final against South Africa, the flanker let his temper get the better of him. Kelly was shown a red card after headbutting an opponent, leaving England a man down and eventually losing 53-37. Fans and players alike were quick to express their dismay, labelling Kelly’s actions “absolutely disgusting.”
After being called in front of a disciplinary committee, the verdict is in: a six-match ban handed down by World Rugby. Initially, a stiffer ten-match suspension was on the cards, but with some mitigation, the ban was reduced. Kelly will now miss some crucial matches for both England and his club, Sale Sharks.
Meanwhile, Luan Giliomee, the player involved in the clash, had his own red card rescinded. 🟡🔄 World Rugby is not stopping there; they’ve been busy dishing out other punishments too. Wales U20s’ Luke Evans faces a three-match ban for a separate incident, though it could be shortened if he completes a programme. Ireland and USA players have also felt the sting of suspension.
Rugby fans, what are your thoughts on this flurry of suspensions? Fair play or too harsh? Drop your comments below!👇
