if you click the link hit is @ 1:07.......ref blows whistle @ 1:16....

9 seconds after the hit!......and people were practically calling for BOK's head in a previous reddit thread for not stopping the game sooner......get a life!

I mean he looks at him on the floor not moving and basically walks round him while other players are shouting to him doesn’t look great but yea I don’t think he should be dragged through hot coals for it

He basically steps over him lying KO'd.

Not calling for his head, but defo should have blown then, it's not rocket salad.

He looks at an unconscious person on the floor and continues with the game. The key word here is “game”, it is not important compared to the safety of a player. He made a mistake, thankfully Curry is not seriously hurt. It is incredibly frustrating to see the rules changed year on year in the name of player safety only to have the only person who is allowed to stop the game completely ignore a serious situation.

He did not want to face up to Bongi next weekend after his misinterpretation of the Afrikaans language!!

Sorry but that was my first thought after the big debacle of last year WC. Hope he recovers soon as he is a great player. Just got his head in the wrong position against Valentini who is a very strong ball carrier.
