Kiwis had a cut bottle top Exile but I take your point. Concerning points for me. Why were they ushered straight from the field to a press conference ? They should have waited for advice from the ACA. I don't believe S.Smith was directly involved in the plan but as Captain felt the need to take responsibility. His response reeked of panic and he clearly underestimated the fall out. They all did. I'm not condoning ball tampering in any way but really a plan? Would have been a short conversation. "Balls dead can we rough it up a bit? Yeah. Hey Bangers rough the ball up. OK. Media made out it was a complex plan rehersed over several days.
