Tomás Ó Sé has jumped to Eoghan O'Gara's defence after an allegation of biting was made after yesterday's Leinster SFC final.

The CCCC are expected to launch an investigation today after Meath manager Mick O'Dowd alleged that defender Mickey Burke was bitten on the finger after a scuffle on the ground with Dublin forward O'Gara in the closing stages of the game.

Speaking on the Sunday Game last night, former Kerry star Ó Sé believed that Burke had shoved his hands into O'Gara's face, and commended the Dublin player for not reacting in a more aggressive manner.

"I think Eoghan O'Gara did very well not to react," he said.

"He was down on the ground and got five or six bangs on the head that anybody would have reacted to.

"The Dubs have a great (disciplinary) record this year, they've no black cards. I know for a fact that I would have reacted if I was Eoghan O'Gara.

"There is an allegation that there were was a bite but the way his head was down, there's no way that O'Gara went to bite. I think it should just be forgotten about.

"If a guy is going to stick a finger towards your face or into your mouth, if there is a bite... The Meath lads should have a look at themselves. They should have started that fight in the first half." Tweet
