what?!
Assessed as 10 weeks, sorry, matches. Down to 5
Look at this for the most piss weak thing you will read all week
“Testimonials provided by Mark McCall, Eddie Jones and the founders of a charity with which the player works very closely were of the highest quality.
"The Panel concluded that applying the off-field mitigating factors, notwithstanding his suspension four-and-a-half years ago, the player was entitled to a reduction from 10 matches to five meaningful matches under RFU regulation 19.11.11. The player is free to play again on October 5.”
hilarious.

@KiwiMurph said in NH club rugby:
Pretty much as predicted.
Top end ban with a 50% reduction as he doesn't have a history of red cards.
Because the refs were useless and didn't card him.
Certainly has a history of high shots and shoulder charges. One of the unpunished ones even went one to be the WR video for 'this is not legal' -

He's never even had a yellow or citing before. Therefore squeeky clean record, 5 weeks is what he was always going to get

@Machpants eh? Doesn't the quote say he was suspended just over 4 years ago?
Absolutely gobsmacked that testimonials have fucken anything to do with a hearing for a high tackle in a rugby match. What a load of shit. A charity!

And where is the equivalencies of judgement when someone can pull out the big name testimonials because of their enhanced position.
A young unknown doesn’t get that advantage -
He does now.

It'll be interesting to see if he alters his "methods". Now that he's actually been punished he might think he's not going to get away with it as much.

when your club coach and your national coach tell you it's all good, then why change?
And his strike rate of shithousery to suspension is not bad.

@taniwharugby Justice for Owen!

Leinster played in the PRO14 Championship Final at the weekend, winning 22-7 and going undefeated all season. Including European games they’re now 25 games on the bounce with their quarterfinal against Saracens this coming weekend.

@Derm-McCrum even more dominant than the crusaders, with their impressive 50 whatever squad!
