    @kirwan haha my sons team a couple of weeks back got a lesson in talking smack, and ended up being the point where the other team got the upper hand.

    A couple of our bigger and better players came off upset over what the other team was saying to them and calling them (especially when it wasn't even that bad)...their dads and I were like why is that upsetting? If you knock him on his arse in the next tackle, you simply stand over him grinning, no better retort!

    Don't get mad, get even!

    It aint like people in life don't take any opportunity to step on people, so is a good place to learn to deal with shit.

    At least van der Merwe wasn't accused of being racist as well - Kpoku is black.

    I wonder if that fact had something to do with the length of the ban.....

    No, not at all.

    Race wasn't mentioned at all. The citing was for "a serious and gross verbal abuse of a highly-offensive sexual nature in relation to a player’s mother accompanied by a highly-offensive sexual gesture". The gravity of the offence (intentional and deliberate) lead to a mid-range entry point of 12 weeks in this case. He got the full 50% deduction.

    @bones You never know on the fern whether something is meant literally or not. I can't read people's minds, especailly not the minds of people I don't know personally. That's probably a good thing 😬

    That shocks me even more. Holy shit.

    Kind of crazy that it’s the equivalent of a headbutt.

    Sticks and stones and all that.

    Although does make it quite intriguing to try and think of how you might unintentionally perform "serious and gross verbal abuse of a highly-offensive sexual nature in relation to a player's mother accompanied by a highly-offensive sexual gesture". Seems kinda specific. Man those kids must hate their dads.

    I'd been okay with a one-week suspension (or two if you take into consideration that it's a worldwide event involving countries that are much more conservative than we are), but this is way over the top.

    I’d give him one week for it being a piss poor sledge and his opposite number two weeks for not having a decent comeback for it .

    Have no fucks to give what people in conservative countries might be offended by, they tend to be backward shitholes anyway .

    Like Van der Merwe apparently. So it would be one of those “ tightrope blowjobs” ie you’re all good as long as you don’t look down .
