Rugby star faces long ban for head-stomp ‘thuggery’ against Australia
@Source: brisbanetimes.com.au
“Twelve blue (Kelter) is going to get a permanent red card,” Barrett-Theron said.
“Because this is thuggery, it is deliberate and it is very dangerous foul play. She’s clearly stamped on the head of the Australian player. That’s reckless, that’s dangerous and she’s going off.”
The stamping incident capped an ill-tempered night from Kelter, a former college ice hockey and soccer star, who was also involved in other skirmishes throughout the game.
Kelter was later said to be distraught but left USA coach Sione Fukofuka, a former Wallaroos assistant coach, to visit the Australian sheds to check on Friedrichs.
