[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 933632, member: 12190"] Agree with the above, think this is utter madness. Yes it's disgusting, yes it's demeaning, no it's not in the spirit of the sport - give him a good ban but not 13 weeks FFS. Is stomping or punching in the spirit of the sport? Do they punished this severely? Rugby should get off its high-horse wherein basically bad sportsmanship is punished significantly more harshly than any offence related to a physical foul. Dave Ward gently treads on a blokes ankle and the powers that be say nothing of it at all. On a less serious note I love that they had to use a formal-sounding name for this offence - I'm disappointed they didn't just go for "Blowing a bogey" [/QUOTE]
