[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1137515, member: 74121"] You have convinced me Al that I should at least not yet assume favouritism over general World Rugby disciplinary panel madness. Albeit the Farrell decision was made by the English union rather than World Rugby. That Farrell one is hilarious, reading it now. Not only did Farrell get his 6 match ban reduced to 5 for attending tackle school, he then got it reduced to 4 matches... because he was a repeat offender!? [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/jan/11/owen-farrell-free-for-start-of-six-nations-after-receiving-three-match-ban-rugby-union[/URL] If I am reading that right it is bizarre. He would have got a week longer if he hadn't served a 5 game ban previously. Should it not be the other way around? That's setting aside the club stuff (which may have been concern over legal challenge rather than favouritism/self interest, but could have been either). That said, I'd still query how Farrell gets an initial 6 weeks and Zander gets an initial 3. Unless Farrell's showed malice. The Tongan red card today was reportedly a bad tip tackle. World Rugby disciplinary panel, its over to you! [/QUOTE]
