Hartley of Northampton got 6 weeks for a no-arm high tackle, and Bundee 3 for words? Out of proportion, and they know very well he won't play the 2nd play-off as we will struggle even more to pass the 1st without our best player.

Except, ya know, the first Discipline Panel were all Welsh and the Appeal Panel were all Scottish...
It's not a conspiracy

In this case, as a protected player in an English club, who HAVE TO face the french one 7 days later, he would have had only 5 I guess

Suspension stands according to linley on Twitter

6PM and no news about Bundee. Nobody knows?

I don't get why it's in contradiction. It's about time to try the appeal because we need bundee.

I don't think its about time. Our centre partnerships are leaving our back three defenceless. I was trying to identify why we have collapsed in the last couple of weeks. Has Tiernan suddenly become the worst fullback in Ireland or are the centre partnerships shockingly poor. Craig was desperate last weekend. Tom is great going forward but shocking as a defensive centre. No cohesion. Do we need Bundee, we really need Bundee.

Yup, I know verbal abuse is frowned upon but 3 weeks seems harsh.
The sanctions are a bit mad though. Lower end ref abuse is a 6 week ban whereas lower end spitting is 4 weeks

Wouldn't mind another bus and boat trip. Its a really good way of just meeting up with folks and sharing your 'individual' viewpoint

The only advantage to playing Saints is access to 4 decent airports with connections to nearly all our airports. And once landed it's the same for transport link's.
Plus I've lots of relations in Northampton.

But we've a few scores to settle in Kingsholm.

me too, 2011 and but for one missed tackle we would have won. not fair to name the player as he was gutted after the game

wp :

Unlikely to go further, the LNF had authorized Du Plessis to play
