VINE: Gruesome footage of Toulon forward applying choke hold on Richardt Strauss

Sliding tackles, head-butts and choke-holds.

And yet Ali Williams' innocuous jump for a high ball was the only indiscretion from a Toulon player in their Champions Cup semi-final win over Leinster. Both sides played hard and, for the most part, fair. Toulon lock Jocelino Suta, however, went below and beyond. As Leinster hooker Richardt Strauss contested a Toulon ruck, Suta slapped on a choke-hold that somehow went unpunished. While we are at it, here is the Bakkies Botha assault on Cian Healy. And the Leigh Halfpenny sliding tackle on Zane Kirchner. Hat-tip to Andy McGeady for the Suta Vine.
