Pairing Luke Marshall with Cave in the centre and Payne at fullback could be really good for the wolfhounds backline. They should know each other inside out. Then Gilroy could be on one wing.

It is taken into consideration.

If a player just randomly ran up to an opponent and punched them for no reason they'd get a much longer ban.

Taken into consideration in terms of the severity of punishment but not in the verdict. I still think this hinges more on whether they're convinced it's an open hand or not.

Right, I read somewhere 21 seconds but couldn't quite believe it. He must have been totally fired up. I'd say Schmidt is none too impressed with him at the moment, we have enough headaches as it is without giving us more

I thought he looked hyped during the anthem.

I hope they have more backup than the clip we've all seen - seems a stretch.

At least the independent adjudicator is from Australia. Nice and independent there :pac:

Ah yeah, the clips we have are from people lifting it off a TV feed.

The video and imagery available for review would be much better definition, plus they'll have access to any photography of the incident.

If there's any chance Pape was intentionally hurting sob to get a reaction they'll find it.

Been reading around some places that Pape was doing a 'camel bite' on O'Brien. And in other places, that he stuck his thumb up O'Brien's arse. Is there any evidence for these?

There's a pic that you can see he's grabbing at sob where his lower lat is. If anyone has ever been pinched or grabbed there you'll know all about it.

Nathan Murphy of Newstalk has just tweeted Mike McCarthy is on his flight to Cardiff. No prizes for guessing Paulie's replacement.
