A Scottish suplex?

Jonny Sexton was the victim of something akin to a wrestling move against Scotland at the Aviva stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Irish fly-half was flipped off his feet by bycentre Alex Dunbar at a ruck late in the second-half of Ireland’s 35-25 win over Scotland in the Six Nations.

Sexton wrestleDunbar received a yellow card for his challenge, which would be more at home in a wrestling ring, than a rugby field.

However, Sexton was accused of play-acting in order to get Dunbar a yellow card.

What did you think, was Sexton play-acting?
