Team-mates hit back over suggestions of ‘diving’

AUSTRALIA lock Nick Frost has hit back at suggestions that his teammate Carlo Tizzano dived after being cleared out by Jac Morgan in the final seconds of his side's 26-29 defeat to the British and Irish Lions in Melbourne.

As Hugo Keenan crossed for the crucial score, Tizzano's teammates and coaches alleged that he had been taken out illegally.

However, some former Lions have not only defended Morgan's actions, but accused Tizzano of ‘diving’, with ex-England star James Haskell tearing into his behaviour and calling for him to be red-carded. “Only bit of foul play and nonsense in that incident was the Australian player diving," he told The Good, The Bad and The Rugby podcast. “That should have been red-carded because that is utter c***.”
