What with all the goals in the Aviva, it's understandable that today's Super League Grand Final in Old Trafford may have fallen by the wayside. However, anyone who has decided to take in the match between old rivals Wigan and St. Helens will have been privy to one of the most shocking incidents that we've seen on a rugby pitch in quite some time.
Wigan's Ben Flower decided that Lance Hohaia deserved something that would quite possibly land you in jail if it happened outside a sports pitch.

While most people would call that indefensible, Joey Barton gave it a go.
Actually feel a bit sorry for Ben Flower. Lance started it with his elbow. Superb 1st dig from Flower. 2nd when he's KO'd is out of order. — Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) October 11, 2014
