    <p>maybe cos biting is the only thing he does, and I mean 3 years between bites is a pretty good thing, he's obviously doing a good job of controlling his urges!</p>

    <p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The mystery of determining penalties again: they add 2 weeks for aggravation because he's done it before and then reduce it by 4 weeks for a good disciplinary record etc? </span></span><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't understand how you can have a good disciplinary record if you have already been banned for 9 weeks for the same offence.</span></p>

    <p>By the way, Augustin Creevy got a one week suspension for a dangerous tackle on Sharks flanker Jean Deysel and will miss the Jaguares game v the Lions.</p>

    <p> </p>
    <p>The logic in applying these penalties seem to be somewhat arbitrary and somewhat dependent  on what big future fixtures you might want to play in.</p>

    <p>Nice!</p>

    <p>I see WLR is maybe joining Wasps from the Sharks.   Must be depressing being a SA rugby fan.  They don't win nothing these days, and all their best players are routinely poached.   Let's hope that nightmare never arrives on NZ shores.</p>

    <p>I'm liking the sound of this.  I reckon SANZAAR needs to get an early foothold into North America before the Brits do, it's going to be incredibly important to have TV money that competes with the deals the French and English clubs are reaping, otherwise rugby will end up like soccer with the English Premiership.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>It doesn't matter how many SH players go north, the quality of the rugby seems to remain average: Racing Metro had a few Kiwis in their side, but were absolutely rubbish.</p>

    <p>so will that mean Joe Wheeler will aslo be allowed to play outside NZ and return for Super rugby? </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Not ideal if the NZRU are granting players exemptions to play off-shore instead of Mitre10 Cup, especially as it could well open a big gate....</p>

    <p>According to this article, players can qualify for an NZRU exemption to do a split season - Super Rugby then miss NPC for an overseas stint then come back for the next season of Super Rugby - after "so many years of service".</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>The number of years in "so many years of service" is not defined in the article. </p>
    <p> </p>

    Shouldn't be allowed for players who play for, or have made themselves available for, another country.

    <p>Although in most cases it seems NZRU have only let someone do it once?<br><br>
    Tamati Ellison and Levave are 2 I recall had requests turned down?</p>

    <p>Bryn Hall? Poor Crusaders fans. They'd better wait until they've appointed a new head coach.</p>

    <p>That rumours been flying around for a while, hope it's just the media talking shit.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I'd prefer Fukiofua, Drummond and Jack Stratton (who apparently has been playing really well in club rugby)</p>

    With 50 gone, SW's are within 2 of the Reds, and looking to fuck up my tipping again :(<br><br>
    Goromaru kicks well, but he looks bloody slow. Kicks a penalty now to take it out to 25-20.<br><br>
    Reds scrum has been making a mess of the SW's.
