  But let's think about the real victim here
  Poor old Darcy misses two tests ...

  Have seen a few reactionary posts on the socials calling for a Swain to be banned for 9 months 🙄

  Regardless of the punishment in this case being too short, that's a slippery slope. Does that mean any red cards where a player is not out of the game injured means no ban?

  (Yes I'm being facetious)

  I hope you are being facetious because the logic is flawed.

  Indeed - there would still need to be a minimum sanction handed out, which is why the judiciaries have a big table of entry points... which they henceforth ignore because Good Bloke Showed Remorse With No Priors Or If There Are Priors Get A Letter From The Victim You Scratch My Back I'll Scratch Yours clause.

  Let's say this involved a player with a pre-existing injury or area of concern e.g. they'd had a reco on that knee two years before. Are we then going to have a process where it goes full legal eagles to sort out attribution?

  If the player recovers early, do we let the offender back on the park?

  If it is career ending because of poor rehab or a player who was nearing retirement anyway, do we rub out the offender as well? For how long?

  It needs more thought than just the heat of this moment. I come back to the fact this should be more about intent than outcome.

  It was a shit move by Swain and he shouldn't be playing again this year IMHO. He had the prior from a few months ago and therefore the judiciary should have thrown the book at him and gone for high-end as a minimum, to get other players to stop this sort of behaviour.

  Agree that there are too many variables but injuries sustained should be an aggravating factor to the ban IMO.
  My gripe is when a player injures another, gets a yellow and then returns after 10. IMO if you invalidate a player from the game then you should also have to sit it out.

  You can injure people in perfectly legitimate tackles. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

  I'm only talking about foul play.

  @crucial

  May 2019 was last trip to Raro. That was my last overseas holiday before these last two weeks in New Caledonia. I don't really count raro as a proper overseas jaunt - more like going to the Coromandel so it was four years between northern 'Nam and New C. A bloody eternity.

  We always rent a place. Last time was just at the southern end of Muri. We just had a couple of old bikes for transport so Charlies was a bit far after dark. Usually sat round the pool at Nautilus

  Come on Cantabs, vote for your boy Sam so we can bump out Itoje of the hype.

  (Is campaigning this close to the election allowed?)

  Depends on the value of bribe administration fee ...

  @MN5 impressive at only 22.

  I don’t know anyone of any age who can do that.

  True that - an outlier's outlier.

  It’s definitely making sure I don’t miss a garage workout that’s for sure !

  Inspirational stuff.

  @MiketheSnow Looks like a scam journal, it isn't indexed anywhere. Besides, vaccine reviews would not be published in a journal of "insulin resistance".

  Has this just started happening? Nothing has changed on the site

  No mate, not new. I’m just too lazy to address things usually.

  Fixed now though.
