So it looks like Any Farrel got away, yet again with a dangerous tackle.
This guys is a complete thug, he doesn't belong on the rugby field and knows exactly what he is doing.
The fact that he only got a 5 match suspension when it was minimum of 10 matches just proves to you have poor world rugby in general is about discipline.
I know, how as SA rugby fans, we felt robbed when we our players got a stiff ban but the other players seem to get a slap on the wrist.
Time to follow the letter of the law and stop this idiotic ruling where a player gets a lawyer to get him off the hook.
For me it is simple ruling
- Was it intentional
- did he try to tackle the player legally
- Where did he hit the player
- What happened to the tackled player
This guy now suffered from severe concussion, can't return to play for 5 weeks. But also now has this injury hanging over him.
Farrel should have gotten the maximum and probably band for 6 months at least in my book
I also recall many years ago when Japie Mulder targeted De Wet Barry off the ball and deliberately shoulder charge Barry in the face, breaking his cheek down, but got off lightly, when in fact Barry was ruled our for most of the season.
Act like these should simply dealt with. We have no room if your intent is to ruin a players career
