[QUOTE="TRF_Ezequiel, post: 540233, member: 42683"] Yes, but if you change the ban-system, and ban players for matches in stead of weeks, does that count for the matches within the competition where the cited incident took place? For instance: If Hore would be suspended now for 5 games, would that only be the following 5 Test matches NZ plays or will he also be banned for the Super Rugby matches his team plays? And if you turn it around. If, for instance, Liam Gill (Australia) gets cited for a tip-tackle when he plays for the Reds in Super Rugby right before the Lions tour, and he is suspended for 3 matches... Robbie Deans can call up Gill and he can sit out his suspension with the Wallabies so he doesn't have to miss a single match for the Reds. That way he is eligible to play again once the Aussie teams resume the Super Rugby season. The banning by weeks-approach is not a bad one, but it should only apply to active weeks of rugby. For Hore, this means his remaining 4 weeks of suspension would be active once the new season starts in New Zealand, where he is based. [/QUOTE]
