Imagine if a footballer did this?

[Shaggy]

Suppose that's sweeping it under the carpet then...

I know. He's missing one whole match for his club and a bunch of international reserve matches. **** me. He must wonder what he's going to do with the shreds of his career.

[Rich]

Which happens to be a final plus he's possibly scuppered his chances for getting a spot in the world cup squad.

But that isn't a punishment!

[Shaggy]

He should be banned for a season and, moreover, sent to jail.

Of course

High security jail?

[Shaggy]

Also it's irrelevant whether the one match is a final or not, the "punishment" is typically pathetic.

I couldn't view the videos, have you got another link?

As irrelevant as class

[Shaggy]

Just found out he didn't even get sent off - FLMAO!

Is Austin Healey taking the piss?

Former Leicester and England wing Austin Healey said he expected *Tuilagi to receive a three or fourweek ban but urged the RFU not to issue a more severe sanction “just because he was a good boxer.”

“I don’t condone punching and I don’t condone violence of any sort in rugby but I don’t think the length of the ban should be governed by the quality of the shots,” said Healey.
“I hope that’s taken into account, people are calling for 12-week bans, that’s ridiculous, a maximum ban should be three or four weeks for me. You can’t ban someone because he’s got a great right arm.”

Yeah, Austin, you can't jail someone cos he's got deadly shot with a rifle

[Neil Young]

Too soft IMO.

Didn't they say in the verdict reporting sshhhhpeel that if he'd commited the offense on the street he'd have been arrested and prosecuted too

Rugger chumps in protect the boys club shocker.

[CJ]

if footballers started doing things like this what would happen with crowds? i think the more benign rugby crowds are one reason why its not a problem.

you just need to read some opinions on here to understand the games and fans behave differently. If its because of class then so be it but its not all because of a view of certain classes.

I worked in a rugby school where the principal said in his speech at the 6th year graduation that **** boys know that if you need to punch a guy in the ribs to win a senior cup, you do it.
