#3. Johnny Sexton (Wales vs Ireland)
The yellow card given to Liam Williams for making contact with the head of Ireland’s playmaker Sexton during their Six Nations clash sparked controversy on the internet.
eacting to the incident, one fan wrote: “Sexton play acted a head injury. Blatant cheating.”
A second wrote: “That Liam Williams yellow card shows why rugby will be dead in a few years – nothing wrong with Liams body shape and Sexton play acting sums up how rugby has drastically changed for the worse. It’s a mockery to the real injuries.”
Another commented: “Sexton winks after getting another fellow professional a card by his simulation of injury and as always gets up to take the resulting penalty. This will destroy the spectacle that is International rugby.”
A fourth said: “Another football injury/tactic from Johnny Sexton. He does it too many times.”
