👀🔥 Rugby fans, you won’t believe the heated scenes from the Argentina v England clash! World Rugby is launching an investigation after some Argentina players confronted the referee right after the match ended. 😲🏉
During the action-packed game in Santiago del Estero, tensions boiled over when Argentina players were spotted remonstrating with referee Angus Gardner. Tomás Albornoz and Bautista Delguy were caught in the spotlight, with Albornoz reportedly being held back by a water carrier. All this drama unfolded after Argentina was denied a last-minute equalising try due to a decision from the TV match official. 📺🤨
But wait, there’s more! After the whistle, Gardner was struck by an object thrown from the crowd, adding fuel to the fiery atmosphere. 🌪️😮 The Argentinian Rugby Union is now urged to take action and identify the culprit behind this shocking event.
Reports suggest that disciplinary procedures could be on the way, potentially resulting in bans for the players involved. World Rugby regulations state that disrespecting officials could lead to suspensions starting at two weeks, or even longer for more serious offences. 🚫⏰
Adding to the drama, England’s trip to Buenos Aires earlier had already sparked tempers with Henry Pollock’s cheeky taunts at local football fans. Argentina’s head coach, Felipe Contepomi, wasn’t pleased either, criticising England’s celebrations as disruptive. 🤭🙊
With a tense rivalry brewing from their recent football World Cup semi-final and more grievances on the return flight shared by both teams, this is a story you don’t want to miss! Stay tuned for updates on possible disciplinary actions from World Rugby. 👀⚖️
