@Crucial That depends on whether the Judiciary has accepted those Australia 'A' games as "time served". Three Aussie A games and 3 Wallabies games, that leaves three more Wallabies games of their EOYT (they have scheduled 5 tests on their EOYT).
That looks to be what has happened. Swain misses the 3 Aust A games, as well as the tests against NZ, Scotland and France.
Wallabies lock Darcy Swain has been banned for six games after a reckless clean-out of All Blacks midfielder Quinn Tupaea in an ugly ruck incident in the first Bledisloe Cup test in Melbourne.
He will out of all rugby until November 6.
Hopefuly we get an apology from rennie for saying there was nothing in it. fluffybunny
So he only misses one game on NH tour, Ozzie A trick worked

2 games missed on EOYT. Scotland and FranceWe've been known to game the system similarly. As have others. Not upset about that.

I think it is a bloody disgrace and cynical from Rennie and ARU. Doing anything to lighten the consequences of a bad injury. Top 23 players should not be on A team tour. His name stood out as odd amongst a group of marginal super players.
“Darcy’s form has slipped in recent weeks, that’s why we are naming him in the Australia A squad. We expected him to be selected however because of his suspension he will miss the three scheduled matches. We are supporting Darcy through this time to get him back into top form.”

So Rennie claims that WR supports them on the time wasting call. Really? Care to share what they said Dave?
"We understand your concerns".

ABs have counted game of 3 havles for bans so i have no issue with Aus A games counting.
I am same, he misses the games so that's how it is. Can not see any problem at all really.

Yup, Steve Hansen and his pet, SBW.

In the most contentious and controversial refereeing decision of the year, we have to rely on the aggrieved coach’s second-hand version of what World Rugby has said about Australia’s complaint. If that doesn’t tell you how corrupt and opaque the governance structures (or lack of them) are in rugby union, nothing will. Where is the official WR statement? Is anyone in charge here? Or are they all too busy covering their arses and protecting their expense accounts to comment? Of course Rennie is going to say that. He’s like the kid who comes home from school and tells his parents the teacher has given him the week off from doing homework.

Trouble is that WR have a great history of opening their mouth only to fill it with a shoe.

I think the issue is not the game level but the seemingly cynical approach of selection for that game.
It was great timing for RA to have the 'loophole' available.
BTW the rules are that there are level groups and in this case the International Representative side and the designated second side are in the same grouping. The game itself isn't part of the equation hence the game of three halves scenario.
But yes, we used the same loophole so cant really complain unless there is evidence that he was only added to the squad after the foul play.
