[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 825715, member: 45598"] I agree here, while Fekitoa looked ridiculous it wasn't as dangerous and was punished adequately on the pitch. Cane on the other hand was too high, led with an exposed shoulder and hit with a straight arm, you can only get suspended for red card offences though so I think red and minimum possible ban was the answer. A lot of talk of intent here which in my opinion is a bit stupid, intent should be taken into account when considering the suspension but not a players innocence or guilt. The decision by the committee stinks of trying to appease both Irish and NZ media by dishing out a ban to a New Zealander but not over the contentious and more important decision, it ultimately is worse for both unions in my opinion.
