    That herald article also had a brief summary of the victims version of events (via her mother)

    The victim's mother, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the pair had a mutual friend and were out socialising in the Octagon when the incident played out.
    
    She said a conversation arose that Frizell did not like, prompting the slap, "to shut [her] up".
    
    When the victim returned to confront the rugby player, the second assault occurred.
    
    Frizell later sent abusive messages to a third party on social media.
    

    A punch that resulted in dental work? I’m even more surprised by the NZR sanction now. Given the small punishment I was assuming the assault was a push or something else relatively insignificant

    If what the woman's mother is claiming is true, then Frizell should never play for the ABs again.

      @kirwan and one of them an already served highlanders game...im a bit embarrassed

      lets not underplay the messages after either

      After an All Black allegedly slapped and punched a woman in the face in a Dunedin bar he sent threatening messages to a third party saying "f... you b.... tell your friend to hide"
      

      this is supposedly when he had had a chance to cool off

        @akan004 definitely, although I guess it can be tempered with the fact there will be some people out there seeing an AB as a payday (not saying it was exaggerated, but it could be for that reason)

        Seems a few too many of these incidents happening.

        How stupid are these guys to send anything threatening via thier phones?

          Got to wonder if the Herald was sitting on this waiting for NZ Rugby to fuck it up, which it seems they did.

            Sounds like two different versions of events based off of what the Highlanders CEO said when Frizell was dropped for the Highlanders game

            Clark said the Highlanders had completed their own investigation into the incident and had left the issue with police. He added he would be "surprised" if police laid charges on Frizell.
            
            "That is just based on what I know. So it is a personal opinion," he said.

              What sanction do you get for a punching a player in the face with sufficient force to break a tooth? A year? Not one week ...

                You would hope there is an independent witness to the incident, rather than relying on each party to give their version of what happened.

                NZR won't be able to ignore the bad publicity. Damage control.

                  Wasn't the whole better people make better All Black's (i.e. no dickheads) a policy (maybe instigated by Henry) that was picked up the player leadership group? I'm not absolving Foster and let's face it, Robertson wouldn't do any different, but doesn't this point to the AB leadership group letting the team and public down (if true)?

                        the police charging him leans more towards her side of things in my mind, i would have hoped they had done more than just talk to the two parties

                        I guess he hasn't actually explained if he has a different recollection of events

                                  not fighting it suggests to me there is a lot more true in the charges than not

                                        I'm surprised you can get diversion for slapping, then punching a woman and knocking her teeth out. Followed up with text harrassment.

                                          Agree. I would guess that it is right on the cusp of what is eligible in a first offence.
