If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again.
That must have been what Owen Franks was thinking at the weekend, as he threw two absolutely horrific forearm smashes into the head of a Highlanders player during their meeting on Saturday.
The Crusaders prop, who was looking absolutely smashing in his scarlet Crusaders jersey came flying into a ruck with his right arm swinging.
He didn’t seem to get the exact forearm-on-head contact he was looking for though, because a second or two later he threw another haymaker to his opponent’s head, this time really connecting.
Naturally, he’s been cited.
Not even Jose Mourinho would dare argue against a ban for this one.
