That second picture looks pretty much like a finger in his eye to me.He didn't put his fingers in anyone eyes. He scratched his face below the eye. Shouldn't have done it, no. Not acceptable, not making excuses, but that aint a 'rugby' eye 'gouge' where they stick the thumb/finger right in there and push. I've had my eye gouged in a ruck and it was fucking agony and I had a fucked up eye for about a week and half. All bloodshot and bruised.
It was all hyped up, like the media do with most stuff.
