[QUOTE="Leinster Fan, post: 991773, member: 76349"] Hard to see Marler getting anything less than the 12 weeks with his record, he can hardly claim to deserve to have it cut in half for a previously good past, and he's chucked any chance of getting the benefit for showing remorse. I'd say anything more than that is pretty harsh, you'd have to imagine that the higher end sanctions are intended for more aggressive actions of the same type, this was probably low end. That said, the factors I mentioned above (like his poor record and complete and utter lack of any sort of remorse) could well see it go up. Either way, I don't see how anyone can claim that he doesn't deserve to be punished. No matter how many club games it's happened in, the laws are pretty clear about it (and with respect, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect people playing in an event watched by millions to behave better than angry internet man did in some random junior third division game 20 tears ago).
