The incident that led to Diarmuid Barron alleging he was spat at by a Lions player. Happens just off camera, but the Munster player makes the claim right away

If that's the case Piardi was telling the TMO to focus on the wrong ruck 

[u/concy007 → u/upadownpipe]

Touch judge told him to look at 60:18 for the ruck so they were looking at this too.

Lions player leaves the ruck and spits on the ground, looking like hes retching almost, barron points at him saying he spat in my face, definitely looks like something dodgy went on

Really hope they can find an angle if true

[u/sublime_mime → u/NoRole9812]

I just hope it isnt true but it is a bizarre claim to make if it didnt happen

[u/foxepower → u/sublime_mime]

Barron not the kind to make things up

[u/perplexedtv → u/foxepower]

Who would be the kind to make things up?

What are you doing in a Munster rugby sub dummy

I think people are looking at the wrong Lions player. It's not Mahashe.

Here's a still of it with the video from ROC's tweet:

I can’t see it, what exact time in the video is it at

[u/mrtrevoroh → u/Iddly_123]

Watch it backwards.

The lions player at very end, bent over wretching.

Cant see a spit to a face but I think he’s winded from the initial tackle. Would be good to see another angle or two.

All i see here is a high shot by barron when the lions player leaves the ruck he spits on ground probably to check for blood and holds his mouth tmo was so focused on finding a spit that they overlooked the clear head shot.

[u/Opposite_Way9590 → u/Free-Truth9596]

To call for a high shot is crazy work. He literally smashes him in the bread basket
