Italy lock Niccolo Cannone is sent off for headbutting All Blacks halfback Cam Roigard, according to multiple reports. All three outlets describe the incident leading to Cannone’s dismissal, with the headbutt directed at Roigard during the match. The reports agree on the player involved—Cannone, an Italian forward—and the recipient of the contact—Roigard, a halfback for the All Blacks. They also concur that the disciplinary outcome is a red card, resulting in Cannone being removed from the field.
The articles do not provide additional disputed details in the excerpts provided, such as the minute of play, the referee’s stated reason beyond the headbutt, or any further follow-up outcomes. Overall, the coverage consistently frames the key event as a single on-field incident—Cannone headbutting Roigard—that results in an immediate sending-off.
