Second part of the scandal is that they received the same 3-game punishment for a deliberate act of foul play, that for instance Reece-Hodge received for a poor tackle technique.
I was reflecting on that myself. It seems the judiciary are desperate to make themselves look incompetent.

Both Italian props in that lifting tackle got 3 weeks.
Just a personal opinion.
But I want to point out that it is a scandal that BOTH props are banned (pseudo red cards). Either that or I would like to take time to bow in amazement at their coordination to act in perfect planned unison to cause this tip.
Stupid Infexibility by the judiciary. Blind Freddie can tell that one numbskull turned that lift into a tip. Not two.
Justice for Waynes Barnes !!!!
It's a pity one can't down-vote a post. I completely disagree.
Whistle goes.
2 neanderthal Italians still think it is a good idea to take on Vermeulen.
BOTH go for the lift - watch the various angles.The scandal is that they did not BOTH receive a red card on-field.
Second part of the scandal is that they received the same 3-game punishment for a deliberate act of foul play, that for instance Reece-Hodge received for a poor tackle technique.You are completely right. Both props were guilty and moronic. I can't believe the ref didn't see that at the time, and that posters after the fact (with the benefits of replays!) still think only one prop was in the wrong.

Tomás Lavanini suspended for 4 games
Argentina second-row Tomás Lavanini received a red card for an act of foul play contrary to Law 9.13 (dangerous tackle) in Argentina’s Rugby World Cup 2019 match against England on 5 October. Lavanini attended a disciplinary hearing in Tokyo on 7 October before an independent judicial panel chaired by Adam Casselden SC (Australia) with former international coach Frank Hadden (Scotland) and former international referee Donal Courtney (Ireland). Lavanini admitted the act of foul play and accepted that it warranted a red card. He accepted that given his previous disciplinary record he was not entitled to the full 50 per cent discount from the six-game entry point. Having considered all the evidence and after hearing from the player and his legal representative, the panel imposed a sanction of four matches. The player will miss Argentina’s remaining pool match against USA on 9 October and his new club Leicester Tigers’ next three matches. He is free to play from 1 November. -

He's a prop. Of course he was in the wrong.

@Gunner Nope, it isn't, and if you read the decision, you can read why he got a longer suspension.
Thanks for that, but I’m not interested in reading spin doctor, self justification bullshit.

Why the hell are they giving any “discounts” let alone to someone with a poor record?
They are determined to make the whole process as inconsistent as possible.

It is actually very consistent.
Previous discounts have set a precedent for pleading guilty and playing nice with the judiciary. This follows those precedents.IMO discounts for pleading guilty are bullshit and encourage players to admit something that they would prefer to plead a case on.

Guess what I saw on an Irish Rugby site?
Yep.
With more than a hint of resemblance to the infamous spear tackle by Keven Mealamu and Tana Umaga that ended Brian O’Driscoll’s 2005 Lions tour, the Azzurri props upended number 8 Duane Vermuelen after the referee’s whistle had blown to signal a penalty for Conor O’Shea’s side.

Is it the lack of nutrition that causes them to refer to it as a spear tackle?

No. It seems to be the innate ability to be the whingiest bunch of whingenobs on the planet that does it.

When we had Irish trolls turn up in the past thrashwanking about St Brian I used to ask them if they had ever seen any player anywhere behave like that after an injury and they changed the subject every time.

This discussion is most amusing.
Whomsoever says both Italian props shouldn't have gone is some form of leading imbecile. As someone who has been dumped on their head in a game of Rugby, let me say that they're lucky to only have three weeks.
Vaffanculo
Happy rumday from Hobart.

@Machpants They have 6 props in their squad:
Simone FERRARI (Benetton Rugby, 23 caps)
Andrea LOVOTTI (Zebre Rugby Club, 36 caps)*
Tiziano PASQUALI (Benetton Rugby, 19 caps)
Nicola QUAGLIO (Benetton Rugby, 10 caps)*
Marco RICCIONI (Benetton Rugby, 2 caps)*
Federico ZANI (Benetton Rugby 8 caps)Ferrari has a hamstring injury and Riccioni has concussion so unless both recover soon Italy will need at least 2 replacement props, possibly more depending on whether they are LHs or THs.
