This is brilliant.
Scarlets back-row James Davies has come under some heavy criticism over the last few days for his dramatics in the Champions Cup. Davies received an open-handed slap from Will Skelton, after he held onto the Wallaby’s jersey.
The Welshman reacted by falling to the ground, rather dramatically, resulting in a yellow card for Skelton. The lock realistically was always going to receive a yellow for the incident, but Davies ‘dive’ perhaps suggested he was trying to milk a red from the referee.
Ouch. Saracens’ Will Skelton sin-binned for this ‘slap’ on Scarlets’ James Davies… 👋😳. #ChampionsCup https://t.co/Bb9AMsMDWN

While we don’t condone his actions, as there’s no place for it in rugby, you’ve got to give it him- the response is hilarious!
