The Scottish guy is Johnnie Beattie, former lock for Scotland and co-host of Le French Rugby Podcast.
The main one I think is Martin Gillingham, he often does the games entirely solo

The Killer Bees man. Would still take them over the entire backrow group we have now. The fact they had to play in that pre-Cotter pre-Hogg pre-Russell era is just sad when they had such great individual and collective talent.

Great final, gripping stuff all the way to the end. Ntamack’s try was something else

I find most Rugby highlights packages can be awful. 3 min or 4 min versions which show 90 seconds of penalty goal kicking, including replays, but don't show the initial transgression. Unless a very low scoring game we almost never see any attempts that come close to scoring and fall short, either due to error or great defence, but we see 3 to 4 replays of a try at times.

Don't hate it, they should have promotion/relegation every cycle though. That would be amazing.

It's a must to keep games interesting. Will eliminate dead rubber games which this comp could have that tour games don't have to worry about. Also, imagine the amount of viewers that would want to watch the final in the 2nd tier comp.

England will have to have their own giteau law soon. Owen Farrell and George Ford won't be here next RWC. Fortunately they have mercurial Marcus Smith playing in.. Paris. Their next fullback to get 100 caps is Henry Arundell is also playing in Paris. Jack Willis is in Toulouse too. Sam Simmonds at Montpellier. Marchant Paris too. Dave Ribbans gone over now.
Not to the same extent as us but it's getting there.

3 Weeks.
No effect on the WC. Just get some minutes in the backups.

Hard to say with these ones and I don't know the categories and where it falls. My opinion is 3 seems about right but you could argue its completely unacceptable and being such a senior figure in world rugby he should know better.
Negative part of me also thinks this is a cop out and we'll just give him a suspension that won't effect the WC.
I know its different but Reece Walsh got 3 weeks for abusing the ref recently and Brandon Smith got the same last year.

So if we use the well known factor of League being 20% soft cocks on their bans, he should be gone for 15 weeks.

I love watching Ireland play but can't stand Sexton. Maybe he can pull a hammy in the first pool game and one of the other blokes can step up in his absence.

It's an odd one.
I legitimately expected either a whole hog (8+ weeks) or a fine with no suspension: the latter of which would have come with an explanation along the lines of "This is an offence not properly coded for in the rules and regulations of the EPCR competition, which will be rectified for coming seasons."
Not unhappy with 3 (4 might have been more on the nose but whatever).

You guys weren't too bad without him, I always thought that you'd buggered with no Sexton but I think you don't need him.

Agree, I think 4 years ago we were, I think now we have 2-3 quality guys to step into that position.

Yeah the lad who stepped in at 10 I thought did pretty well.
