RA has found a way to cut Swain's suspension by 3 weeks, he been named in Aus A squad, so that's 3 games of suspension used.
Or am I cynical?Surely they need to show that selection was made prior to the foul? I'm sure they will have something up their sleeve but that's fishy.

@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).

@Crucial Not sure what you mean wiht "RA system". The mitigating factors are literally in the WR Regs:
17.19.1 Having identified the applicable entry point for consideration of a particular incident, the Disciplinary Committee or Judicial Officer shall identify any relevant off-field mitigating factors and determine if there are grounds for reducing the period of suspension and subject to Regulations 17.19.2 and 17.19.3 the extent, if at all, by which the period of suspension should be reduced. Mitigating factors include the following:
(a) the presence and timing of an acknowledgement of the commission of foul play by the offending Player;
(b) the Player’s disciplinary record;
(c) the youth and/or inexperience of the Player;
(d) the Player’s conduct prior to and at the hearing
(e) the Player having demonstrated remorse for his/her conduct to the victim Player including the timing of such remorse; and
(f) any other off-field mitigating factor(s) that the Disciplinary Committee or Judicial Officer considers relevant and appropriate.
You're right that fighting the case has taken away one mitigating ground. Obviously, his past disciplinary record has, too.
I wonder whether he apologized to Quinn?

I wasn't talking about mitigation. I was thinking of the 'Foul Play Committee' step which , having googled, appears to be Super only. That's the one where you can accept their decision or move onto full judiciary.

Haven't seen the full ruling but apparently is was mid-point entry and no mitigation.
I guess that there was no acknowledgement of foul play, his past record counted against him and his timing of remorse shown (if any) to QT didn't factor either.
I certainly didn't see or hear of any apology but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.
RAs decision to fight this cost him I reckon.

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.

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.”

that's satire, surely, not an actual Rennie quote
