Ireland co-operate with gouging probe

Ireland coach Eddie O’Sullivan has given his full co-operation to the Rugby World Cup judiciary investigation into the eye-gouging allegations levelled against Argentina props Mauricio Reggiardio and Roberto Grau.

The pair were both cited by match commissioner Dougie Hunter, without prompting from Ireland, for “acts contrary to good sportsmanship” after the Pumas’ dramatic 16-15 defeat in Adelaide on Sunday.
