You'd wanna hope this was accidental. Unfortunately the clip is pretty damming. ban well deserved.
edit* - saw another angle. f**kin grub. no way it was accidental. that and she's wearing bright yellow ffs! ban absolutely deserved. Wouldn't have even cared if there was a life ban
Lengthy ban for tackle on referee
Date published: December 15 2016
The Argentinian rugby player Bruno Doglioli has been banned for three years for his vicious tackle on a female referee during an Italian club game.
Doglioli was suspended by his Italian club Vicenza after only receiving a yellow card for a no-arms tackle on Maria Beatrice Benvenuti. Benvenuti was taken to hospital after suffering whiplash.
Vicenza were playing against Italian Serie A side Valsugana last week.
Doglioli has now been banned by the Italian Rugby Federation, who punishment is the longest ban imposed in Italian rugby in the last 20 years. The IRF condemned the act of violence against Benvenuti and said Doglioli not only breached the rules of rugby but also contradiced the values of sport.

Just as well he didn't have a black jumper on or would only have been a penalty to the ref![]()

If that was accidental then I'm not here...
It should be a lifetime ban, what a poor excuse of a human being!
what on earth was he trying to do would support a life ban poor look for our great game
Should be charged with common assault

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
Apart from wondering why someone would do that, I'm curious about what the other player who falls on top of him and the ref is doing as it doesn't look accidental either.
there was no grassy knoll there DazloT!
