THERE was much evidence this week for those (ie everybody living outside of New Zealand) who have always felt the All Blacks get treated differently to everybody else when it comes to disciplinary cases.
Rather than cop the three or four week ban he deserved, Jordie Barrett had last week’s red card for his dangerous kung fu kick while going up for a high ball rescinded by the SAN- ZAR disciplinary board. He is apparently free to continue jumping in such a fashion.
This will be of considerable interest for the likes of Paol Odogwu who got six weeks...
