When he got suspended did it only count for league matches and play off games because he played in the matches against Wales and France,he missed the games against Catalans and Leeds in the play off and the first match of next year but my mate says he should not have played in the test matches.

He didnt play against Wales which acted as his 3rg game of his ban.

I'm fairly certain he did play in that game.

[bonnieboy]

He did play against Wales.

He was able to play because they found a loophole, whereby England were able to count an England Knights game towards his ban. Therefore, the two playoff games plus the England Knights game = 3 games, hence he has been able to play in all the Autumn tests.

And the England Knights game was against Scotland

Surely that was not in the spirit of the ban. Or can they bend the rules to suit.

They have certainly bent them in this case.
