SAINT-ETIENNE, France (Reuters) - The All Blacks are preparing evidence to contest any suspension arising from the red card handed to prop Ethan De Groot during their 71-3 rout of Namibia in their second Pool A match at the World Cup.
De Groot was shown a yellow card for making contact with the head of a Namibian in the 72nd minute of the match in Toulouse on Friday but it was upgraded to red before fulltime after a review by the TMO.
