[QUOTE="lineens weegie army, post: 181481"] Southwell might learn to run 'around' a player in future instead of right at him. I fail to see how blame can be attached to Balshaw? Both players put their body on the line on a slippery pitch. No case top answer at all IMO. A warning for Wilkinson? Wasn't exactly Oscar material was it? Quite right there was no intent from Balshaw it was just an accident. Wilkinson looked an absolute twat,that and the drop should be enough punishment. [/b][/quote] [/b][/quote] OK, there was no intent from Balshaw - but there doesnt need to be intent for it to be dangerous play! Blows to the head can have serious (and sometimes fatal) consequences, and although it was an accident Balshaw needs to take more care as to what his knees are doing in future. I think a citing would be harsh, but it should certainly been a penalty to Scotland, and possibly 10 minutes in the bin for Balshaw. And EG, slagging off Glasgow? for petes sake, you come from Edinburgh! ;) but agreed, Dundee is a serious of roundabouts on the way to Aberdeen - a port on the way to... Well actually, is there anything worthwhile up there? ;) (I suppose there is Inverness for the Rangers fans amoung us :D ) [/QUOTE]
