Former prop Peter Wright: 'O’Brien has thrown a deliberate punch, it does look unfair on the Scottish boys'

Former Scotland prop Peter Wright claims World Rugby need to show greater consistency in the way they hand out punishments after Ross Ford and Jonny Gray were controversially ruled out of the remainder of the World Cup.

The Dark Blues pair were each given three-week bans for an illegal two-man tip tackle on Samoa’s Jack Lam which dumped the flanker on his head.
