    He assaulted a man and knocked him unconscious for accidentally running into him. That man subsequently had on going concussion symptoms which ended his career. In my book, Ben Flower is the catalyst for ending his career and should have been banned from the game for life. He's a disgrace to his team and the sport.

    Unfortunately the evidence will always be available via UA-cam for everyone to see. Possibly one of the most violent acts in rugby history. He was a professional, no excuse and no future in any sport. It should have been a criminal investigation. Shame on the Rugby League for not acting in a more ethical manner.
