[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 749310, member: 55446"] Galarza incident: [URL]http://gfycat.com/GentleWhirlwindIlsamochadegu[/URL] It seems clear to me that: 1. contact was made 2. it was reckless (he shouldn't have been pulling at the face area) but not intentional Precedent is that proper gouging would be a much longer than 9 week ban. e.g. Attoub got 70 weeks, Dupuy got six months, Hartley got 26 weeks. So I think it's fairly clear he's been punished on the much lighter end of gouging. Perhaps 9 weeks is too long still? Not sure. Let's face it, anything longer than a week or two ban would have meant Argentina would have replaced him. Any reduction in his sentence at this point would be so he's available for Gloucester at the start of the domestic season. [/QUOTE]
