QF3: France v Ireland, Saturday, 1.00pm, BBC2

[Leonormous Boozer]

The Irish clearly did and I think the ref waved it off assuming if there was anything in it the TMO would say, no idea what happened after that, that certainly doesn't look good not sure if it's 100% proof but certainly looks extremely likely, probably need to assess the bite mark etc to fully validate.

The video is quite obvious. @Brettruganalyst has it on twitter but the link won't work here for some reason.

fair enough no place for that in the game and she deserves everything she gets shame it didn’t help Ireland on the day.

 

[Which Tyler]

That does not look good

TMO needs to catch that. The allegation alone of biting should get the TMO involved.

Can anyone link the video? No tw@er account these days so cannot search or organise tweets by date.

12 match ban.

I got this through the videos tab on Google. I do not frequent that site.

2 red cards missed, I'd be fuming if I were Irish

I'd be really annoyed about this result, as well

 

[Which Tyler]

12 weeks now reduced to 9, as apparently they hadn't applied any reduction for good behaviour...
That's very lenient, IMO.
I was assuming that 12 weeks was after a 50% reduction for good behaviour - and was grinding my teeth about that

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Joe Marler got a 10 week ban for flicking AWJ’s dick. Nine weeks for multiple bites is insane.

Biting, eye-gouging and ref abuse: The longest bans in rugby union history

Bans are something that receive a lot of attention these days in rugby, particularly due to how arbitrary and inconsistent they can be.

Just based off of this article, this ban is embarrassing.

Three deliberate goes at getting her teeth into Aoife's arm in an act of assault and she gets a reduction on appeal.

The disciplinary panel are a ******* joke.

The player safety, no room for it in the game etc, etc, etc just screams lip service at times…
