Scott Higginbotham was at the receiving end of some malicious play from the former Irish Wolfhound.

Queensland Reds lock Ed O’Donoghue was sent off earlier today for this crude eye gouge on Melbourne Rebel Scott Higginbotham during a Super Rugby clash in Brisbane.

The 31-year-old O’Donoghue is clearly seen with his hands over Higginbotham’s face before he is wrestled off the Rebels player.

Cheers to Thomas O’Brien for the clip.
