A Wellington club rugby player is in hot water after he allegedly kicked an opponent in the head in an “ugly” on-field incident.
Johnsonville club chair Blair Hannah said he saw a Stokes Valley lock kick one of his team's players multiple times, “including one big boot to the head", as the Johnsonville player went to turn over the ball during the premier 2 men’s game on Saturday at Johnsonville’s home turf of Helston Park.
“It was just ugly to see... It was really disappointing.”
