VIDEO: Bismarck du Plessis gets sent off for disgusting kick to the head with his studs

When Super Rugby turns ugly, it turns ugly.
Whilst Europe was busy showing off the best it had to offer with the oval ball after three enthralling attacking clashes rounded up a tense Six Nations (we won, did you hear?), things weren't as pleasant in South Africa. The Sharks beat the Chiefs 12-11 (puke rugby) in a game that finished 14 v 13 but the home side still came out at the right side of it despite Bismarck du Plessis and Frans Steyn (for a tip tackle) both seeing red. But it was du Plessis who had us dropping our jaws back to the floor after they had just recoiled from THAT Courtney Lawes tackle earlier. After being hit with a tackle on an offload from a ruck, du Plessis sees Chiefs forward Michael Leitch's head there at his feet and, well, what else are you going to? Of course, you'd stick your studs straight into the side of his face. Obviously. Disgusting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jlSeipa0KsExplore more on these topics:
