He has been widely criticised for the incident. It was danagerous and should not have happened, and I hope his Luan is well. It’s also important to remember that Seb is 19-years-old, and playing in the semi-final. Pressure can often impeded our judgement. He will learn from this mistake and hopefully never repeat it again. Noticing that Seb was upset on the bench, Aiden Ainsworth, consoled his teammate and supported him with words of encouragement. Other players also supported Seb. One hallmark of a great team is how it responds when someone makes a mistake. Instead of assigning blame, great teams offer support, help people learn, and move forward together. (🎥: Rugby Pass)
