[QUOTE="Peat, post: 792196, member: 42330"] I probably shouldn't be laughing but I am. The problem though is it doesn't change the basic facts of the matter. Everyone heard what Marler said and what he said gets a 4 week ban by the rules. Nothing Lee did before that changes that. And the choices were uphold the rules, or not and generate awful PR. As it is, rugby as a whole has found the worst option. Actually, technically, the worst option isn't achieved unless World Rugby does nothing after all this hoo-haa. I wish they'd just quietly banned him to begin with. It sounds like it might not have been utterly fair on Marler (although one is mildly dubious of whether these words were actually said) but rugby has taught me that sometimes you take one for the team. Also, the wisdom of refs wearing microphones needs to be re-considered as this will probably happen again at some point. [/QUOTE]
