if its foul play worthy of a ban, then surely its a red card offense? seems to be a standard thing with wire, the get someone banned the week after we play them, its normally Simms

The trouble is that the powers that be changed the rules, at one time a deliberate trip was an automatic sending off. In my view the ruling should be reinstated. Rugby players do not expect to be tripped and therefore do not prepare themselves for such contact. i have seen some bad injuries to players who are running flat out and are tripped.

Even better

In 11 years that was Stef's first time in front of the judiciary. I see some regular offenders go along for some pretty cynical stuff and pick up a week or two ban.
