[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 147980"] I await the outcome of the citing with baited breath. If indeed it is proved that a bite did occur, well the mandatory ban is 6 weeks to 18 months as far as I`m aware, and should be enforced, no question. There is absolutely no place for something like that in rugby, full stop. But equally important, should the commission find no evidence of said bite, well then the Tongan player in question needs to get himself a healthy little ban too. Making allegations of biting is a serious issue, it puts a cloud over a player`s name, reputation and upbringing. And as much as dirty play like biting has absolutely no place in rugby, neither does making unfounded allegations and play-acting. So basically, someone is a dirty cheat. Whether it is a biter or a bloke crying wolf, we`ll just have to wait and see. If the allegations are proved, I`ll be the first to call for a lengthy ban. But I just don`t see Steyn as that type of a player. [/QUOTE]
