Jonathan Sexton's conduct
-
The fact they gave him a ban at all is surprising TBH, I expected him to get off without sanction, maybe a warning only.
-
@taniwharugby In the decision they stated that his sanction was six weeks, but was reduced to three by his mitigation.

How on earth is there mitigation for that? The child he was with was holding a gun to his head?

Why is being a fluffybunny a mitigating factor?

Fuck me days. Why do we always go through this fucking rigmarole every time mitigation gets mentioned either in rugby judiciary cases or actual judiciary cases. It's a standard part of sentencing/sanctioning.
Has he been done for this type of misconduct before? No? In which case, that's a mitigating factor.
He pleaded guilty = a further mitigating factor.
Read page 33 re mitigation if you get round to putting down the pitchforks.

Don't be a party pooper, this is no time for rationalism!

@Tim although if he apologised would he really have been upset with the outcome?

Is it really an apology if it's just for mitigation, and therefore is no longer a mitigating factor?

Some actions which have wide ranging, long term implications don't merit mitigation
Needs to be nipped in the bud, otherwise football ensues

Completely agree, though more for a wider discussion., which I’m thinking is your point.
Sexton is just playing the game, as many have done before. No surprises there or with the outcome.
Looking at that wider issue though, we all know that what goes on at the top level gets emulated all the way down the line. We have trouble getting enough refs as it is, they need to be a protected species from the top to the bottom.

I don't think we need to whip him from Dublin to Galway for this - Tullamore is quite far enough.
-
Totally agree. But it's RWC year and he's a key player. And that just wouldn't do, would it? An opportunity to send a message missed.

It’s the judiciary. Their accuracy is up there with Imperial Stormtroopers.

Thinks it should be 6 months at least.
I agree with him.
