Benn Excuses Actions Against Stone

The game was filled with controversy, but none were as shocking as Benn putting his stick into the face of Mark Stone.

According to Benn, he fell on Stone and used his stick as a landing point, which he said he wished he hadn't done. It doesn't take much thinking if you watch the replay to see what actually happened.
Yeah, that seems pretty intentional to us.
