It was almost like a finishing move in a video game.

Wellington Hurricanes pipped Auckland Blues in a Super Rugby thriller, on Friday but Luke Braid will remember [or not remember] it for all the wrong reasons.

Finding himself on the wrong side of a ‘Canes ruck, Braid was struggling to get out when Dave Shields decided to drop a knee on his head. The act appears both cold and calculating.

French lock Pascal Papé got a 10-week ban for rearranging Jamie Heaslip’s spine, last month. It will be interesting to see how the Super Rugby authorities crack down on the Hurricanes flanker.
