They’ll pick him. Why else go through the Aus A charade.

So he’ll miss 3 games against NZ, Scotland and France and be available for selection from the Italy game on Nov 13, ireland on Nov 20 and Wales Nov 27.

6 week ban apparently - up to and including 6 Nov Hard to argue with that I guess. Judiciary committee: “Through the actions by the player such as position, control, and player movements they found the incident was not intentional, however, it was highly reckless.”

Like everything they’ve gone too far though. A penalty if they get gently placed back on their feet? And a yellow if they land safely but not on their feet? No issue with the red for landing on the head/neck/shoulder but the rest just adds to the litany of cards, frame by frame TMO reviews and...

Brace yourself for the flood of players rolling around grasping their knees after glancing contact only to get up and play on after the TMO review

Wonder why the judicial review was yesterday but no outcome yet

Depends on whether it’s MCL (which the mechanism is consistent with) or ACL as well. ACL and his knee will never be quite the same with long term issues. MCL not so much. The original reports said both then it was amended to MCL with time off down to 3 months. I hope for his sake it is MCL...

Better footage Actually looks to be a pretty similar ballpark but just with a better outcome. Not that I want to reopen that topic again but thought the less grainy footage was interesting while we await the judiciary’s findings...

Interesting that Owens has been quoted as agreeing with the decision but what he actually said was that it was within the laws of the game. He a said he would have handled it differently. “Yet, Owens admits he would have handled the situation differently and pointed to a European Champions Cup...

On the quiet I actually agree with you. I’m just playing games because that’s what your coach and compatriots have done with the raynal shitshow

Would be interesting to see a ball in play statistic. Reckon that was a pretty good spectacle.

Not sure Gordon’s standing out at 10 as much as you’d hope though.

Scrums are a bit of a lottery. Not sure Berry actually knows what’s going on. I certainly don’t

Right on cue :)

Just saw a transcript of the post game conversation. White “I understand but he was just about to kick it out and for two seconds … mate, that just cost us the Rugby Championship.” Raynal “If you think I’m not capable to give a scrum, you’re making a mistake. So now you know it.” Says it...

Rennie also mentioned in the presser swain was cleared out with a neck roll before he got up and had a second go. So if he stays down and gets attention instead of getting straight up the card could have gone the other way. The encouragement for theatrics is undeniable.

Nothing more to say really. I notice there were 4 yellow cards in the SAF v Arg game, Cancelled Stan so I haven’t seen it but I presume they were for some bullshit technicality that required frame by frame TMO input. I’m off to watch my old club play in the QPR final today. At least there’s no...

Joined today for those few quality posts. Go back to the fern bro

I am genuinely that pissed. Final straw pissed. Watching the NRL and AFL finals next weekend pissed. World rugby can go f@#k itself

Yeah he was clearly trying to milk a card. I’m actually glad he didn’t get rewarded for his theatrics. There should be no place for that in the game. But it will continue until they sort out the current card debacle.
