VIDEO: Evidence NZ teams are treated differently
WATCH as yet another New Zealand player gets away with deliberate foul play!
Jay Renton can find himself extremely lucky to have only conceded a penalty after this stamp during the NZ Under-20 team’s loss to their French counterparts.
The replacement scrumhalf was seen viciously stamping on a French player rolling away, but the TMO and referee only deemed it a penalty after consultation.
Superbe stamping à 20 m du ballon. Par contre c’est pas sur la tête, mais bien le bras. Après le français, ça fait deux fois qu’il est du mauvais coté. Il a rien à foutre là. pic.twitter.com/wlQOhmZZFc

While the stamp appears to be on the arm and not on the head, we have seen red cards given in similar situations and the lack of a yellow card is definitely questionable.
It is just another chapter in New Zealand’s recent controversy over red card leniency and fans on social media were not happy.
