[QUOTE="Zootalaws, post: 829910, member: 61187"] Yep. Back to the topic - why wasn't it a life ban? I'm pretty sure the NZRFU and ARU have handed out life bans for less. Maybe Italy determined it wasn't serious enough for that? Personally, there's no room in any sport for assaulting the officials. Ban him. While we're on the subject of bans, how TF has Hartley kept his captaincy? What kind of message is the RFU sending young players when the England captain gets yet another ban but is already deemed selectable for the six nations? Bizzare. Are they so strapped for talent that they will shrug off that sort of behaviour? Despite the fact that had he stayed in NZ he wouldn't have been likely to make the cut for the ABs, his 54 weeks of bans for foul play would have ensured he never got a go in a rep team. The guys a hot-head and his discipline is poor. Is that really the kind of player you want at the highest level in your national team? He's a disgrace. [/QUOTE]
