Judicial decision
Another one that wasn't on the WR website, but published by Scottish Rugby:
- Richie Gray (Scotland): 3 weeks suspension for an act of foul play contrary to Law No 9.20(a) (Dangerous play in a ruck or maul. A player must not charge into a ruck or maul)
Scotland lock, Richie Gray appeared before an independent judicial Committee via video link today having been cited for an act of foul play contrary to Law No 9.20(a) (Dangerous play in a ruck or maul. A player must not charge into a ruck or maul) in Scotland’s international match against New Zealand on 16 November 2022.
The player denied that he had committed an act of foul play worthy of a red card. Having reviewed all the evidence, the Committee deemed that on the balance of probabilities, there was foul play in that the Player had led with his elbow into the tackle area which was dangerous to others. Applying World Rugby’s Head Contact Process, the Committee determined that
- there was contact with the head
- the Player had acted recklessly
- there was a high degree of danger
- there was no mitigation
On that basis, the Committee applied World Rugby’s mandatory minimum mid-range entry point for foul play resulting in contact with the head. This resulted in a starting point of a six-week suspension.
Having acknowledged mitigating factors including the Player’s excellent disciplinary record, the Committee reduced the six-week entry point by three weeks, resulting in a sanction of three weeks (to be served as the following given the player’s upcoming schedule):
19 November – Scotland v Argentina, ANS
26 November – Glasgow Warriors v Leinster, URC
3 December – Glasgow Warriors v Zebre URC -

BaaBaas Harlequins:
Nice kicking from DMac. But his yellow card might have added some puff to the Baa Baas.

International rugby is crazy close at the moment. I think every top 8 team can beat any other on their day (maybe not Scotland over NZ).
Good for the game, not so good for an AB fan (I prefer when we could beat everyone and everyone else could beat each other except us).

Teams can beat each other, but I also think there is a clear hierarchy. I think you would struggle to argue that the top 5 teams are:
- France
- Ireland
- New Zealand
- South Africa
- England
I think New Zealand and South Africa is the only reasonable debate there. Then it should be:
- Australia
- Argentina
- Scotland
- Wales
- Japan
I think there is more debate where you put those 5, but most would only have them one spot higher or lower.

I just wondering with results etc over last few weeks ( which I see as being good for rugby) ,I wonder how many supporters are happy with their teams and coaches etc.
Seems a lot of Auusies are wanting Rennie gone , Welsh would be pissed with Pivac after today, lot of Bok supporters want shot of Niembar, Poms with Eddie Jones etc etc. French and Irish would be happy , and Scots, Italy and Georgia maybe smiling. I personally think many have to get used to a different order in world and maybe see that we don't see guaranteed results anymore. -
