The Kolisi headbutt against Scotland in 2018 wasn’t carded at all. Subsequently went to the judiciary and received a caution only with no suspension. Reasons - moderate force only and mitigating circumstances/provocation (he was being illegally held in a ruck)
Video is still on you tube - pretty lucky outcome

I seem to recall Michael Hooper getting cited and suspended but I think that was at the 2015 RWC.
Why would O'Connor be unavailable?

I think that’s the dive by Sanchez (ie v Argentina), you are referring to - I dont think it was at a RWC but it would have been around that time, and I can’t remember if he was given a red during the match for it.

So is that the answer - when that numpty Hill (or his buddies) slap the Wallabies around the face, they take a dive? (Jokes - I don't want to see any diving/acting in Rugby)

As if that shit isn't rocket fuel to just hit the pommy pricks harder? I always thought that kind of behaviour ends up being counter-productive.

Itll be very interesting to see whether vunivalu geta the nod at 23. I wont hate it if that what rennie decides. Its a bit of a risk. Ideally you'd secure a series win and then give him a run in game 3, but sometimes fortune favours the brave. The benefit of have JOC (James O'Connor) on the bench is you have a very experienced test player who can cover 11 to 15 at a pinch. That does allow you to roll the dice a bit with the other replacement.

Both Kellaway and Petaia cover 11, 13, 14 & 15. Gordon covers 9. JOC (James O'Connor) 10 & 12 so no risk with Vunivalu in 23 jersey.
Hooper was suspended for one match in the RWC '15 against Wales after an incident against England. He definitely didn't get red carded against England so it was a citing commissioner action that saw him have a hearing and get suspended.

Wallabies injury crisis worsens as Kellaway ruled out of second Test
Jordan Petaia will wear the Wallabies No.15 jersey for the first time in his career on Saturday following a hamstring injury to Andrew Kellaway at training this week.
Young Jordan will have plenty of bombs to be fielded I would suspect?
Tom Wright to come in and Hodge maybe on the bench?

All the reporting is suggesting Vunivalu to start with Wright on the benchWallabies injury crisis worsens as Kellaway ruled out of second Test

Well this is a big opportunity for Vunivalu. He's a former NRL superstar, he isn't a teenager so if Tuqiri and Folau could do it with little time in the game, he should do it as he has a loooong time training in Reds. So take your chance with both hands.
The Pommies are going to target both, and both have good air skills. So I hope they can show their value and lock a spot for the next WC. With Tom Banks leaving the country, this is the best oportunnity for them. It's not the ideal scenario but it is what it is
