With Johnson’s arm “jammed” into proctors face / mouth, how does Proctor get his mouth outta there without “scraping”?

Definitely strange, and Johnson’s reaction was telling, but I’m not certain he bit him at all..
Funny a picture tells the story did you see the part where he took a lunged at his arm, it was not no where near his face.

That can go for any send off ever.
The match officials aren’t the judiciary.

Of course it goes for every send off ever! That’s exactly my point. Previous bites were not send offs because the match officials weren’t prepared to say it was a bite. That’s a totally different thing to asking what the penalty for a bite is.

just watched it again, no lunging and nothing un-natural in the course of a tackle from either player from my point of view

If we find a picture of Johnson’s arm and that’ll confirm it or not.

So Chiddy and Perenara are better at making conclusive decisions?

Pointless thing to argue I guess, FWIW Hurrell is listed 5cm taller and 4kg heavier, and that’s not taking into account that Hurrell is way overweight at the moment

yeah true , i guess i just remember seeing Hurrell as shorter and more stocky than him, not necessarily taller.

Well I like the decision they just made. Evidently there are a few people here who didn’t see it though.
Which is exactly the point.
Bites are very hard to prove.
I think he did bite him, and if they come out and say all bites are off from now, I’d be happy with that.
Hopefully it doesn’t come up again.

Did Perenara look at Johnson’s arm to check before making the call?

I’ve only seen replays
