Creevy received a 4 week ban for his head contact red. Not sure it was reduced from 6 or 8 but he misses 4 matches and he has to complete a WR coaching intervention programme to make himself available on 4th January
Should imagine that all the others will be of similar length if there is any consistency

Creevy didn't get the full reduction as he's a bit of a frequent flyer. 3 weeks tends to be the norm for most standard cases (reduced from 6)

His technique is poor. But I don't think any player decided to deliberately smash heads and risk their own head safety, hence why it's accidental in my book.

They’re trying to eliminate poor and dangerous technique.

Good luck at the Sharks. Both their starting front rowers are in the dock for this.

Not exactly ideal is it. How did the other citings go

on all three points

Ja. Not acceptable

Glasgow v Perpignan moved to Murrayfield.

And the trains are on strike.

https://actu.fr/sports/rugby/pro/golgot ... 71022.html

An action which definitively buries the term "European Rugby Cup" and which has caused many protests: welcoming Africans is not very popular in this country, even if they come by plane rather than by boat .

We work out very quickly that we will play this match in arcade mode, and that defence will be like the public in the stands, totally absent. Illustrated with the first try by the South African winger Novuka..... to finish on a good big "meh, don't care" from Noa Nakaitaci, this poor man who, since the end of his years with Clermont, seems to go through life without hope, motivation or expectation, simply waiting for the end to come. Let's not blame him: the PSA years did that to a lot of people.

The people from Lyon are totally passive and indifferent, a bit like when it comes to stopping far-right groups in their city.

...the inventor of air-tackle, Xavier Garbajosa is also shocked on the sidelines.

Again, special mention for Nakaitaci and his camouflage super-power which allows him to turn into an inert object when he's too lazy to do something. Try it at home when you're asked to do the dishes: "Sorry I can't, I'm a double bass."........ In the process, we are then surprised: Nakataici wakes up and does a great deed! Ah no. False alarm, it was Veredamu

Jake White decided to split his squad. The A team play next week in Cape Town in the URC important match vs Stormers.

The Stormers went a different route by mixing their team and change weekly.

20 weeks, reduced to 10!!!

It was decided that the appropriate sanction entry point was 20 weeks and due to Piqueronies’ clear disciplinary record and his guilty plea, the committee granted the full 50 per cent mitigation before imposing a suspension of 10 weeks.

They often can get a further week reduction (from three to two) if they complete world rugby's safer tackling training course.

Very much so. Of the Glaws side you might generously say that Clark, Meehan, Polledri and Tuisue could expect to start as part of the A team.

Hendrikse doing some good things at 10. We'll see the brothers at 9/10 one day for the Boks. For me the young flyhalf ranking goes no 1. Hendrikse with Mngomezulu and Wolhuter behind him.

That was one hell of a power tackle from a wing on a forward to get him away from the try line.

I agree Hendrikse is definitely looking like the form young flyhalf in SA, hope he can continue to build on it. Like the way he plays

Yeah and he can be quite slippery in attack. We seem to be producing a lot of these small fleetfooted wings these days. But they all stand their ground in defense against the bigger players. Need some new young play making centres now.

I didn't know Willem Alberts was still playing, he was one of my favourite players, he is just so ridiculously big.

The French teams are a bit like South African teams, do not travel well outside their own country borders.
