Two injuries and now a possible ban.
As if the injuries to Paul O’Connell and Johnny Sexton weren’t bad enough for Ireland, Sean O’Brienis going to face an anxious 48 hours to find out if he is going to be cited for an an apparent punch on Pascal Pape.
We say ‘apparent’ but it couldn’t be more blatant if it taken place inside a boxing ring and World Rugby are likely to come down hard on O’Brien, meaning his World Cup could well be at an end.
ITV showing Sean O'Brien giving Pape a full punch to the stomach, off the ball. Citing in the post.

The pictorial evidence certainly doesn’t look good for O’Brien.
