He was bleeding from the mouth though.

I reckon he bit his own tongue on impact or something, nothing at all to do with carvell.

the closest you could say he got was his upper arm eventually made contact with his ear. At no point did he hit his face.

Any chance that the impact on the ball carrying arm forced the ball up trapping his lip between his tooth, hence the reason for blood.

It wouldn't be the first time a player has done this.

Unfortunately we had that story for years from Alf Macklin when he got Phil Lowe sent off at bullyvard for a high tackle ( that missed). It wasn't even funny the first time.

Back to Carvell.

Aye, correct decision, nothing in it just a wee bit careless. You could tell the crowd got him a little wound up, he was certainly 'up for it'.

Our 4 props have been immense this year.

Cooper has been excellent, I think folk don't give him enough credit, he quietly coming on leaps & bounds. For a young lad, he doesn't half make some yards, has good leg drive & is rarely dominated. Tough position for a kid to play, no hiding place.
