    So the facts are these:


    1. Pape is seen gripping Sean O'Brien's side in what could potentially be an attempt to inflict severe pain.
    2. O'Brien reacts by somewhat blindly swinging his lower palm / wrist into Pape's upper abdomen
    3. Pape doesn't immediately either:
    a. react
    b. stagger
    c. displace from impact in anyway
    4. Pape then dives onto the ground whilse holding his lower abdomen.
    5. Pape receives treatment, receiving an ice pack to his right middle rib as opposed to the area of impact
    6. Pape rejoins the line with no apparent ill effects after no officials appear to have noticed the incident
    7. Pape plays through the game with no ill effect, receiving full power tackles to the same area with far greater force and displacement but apparently no need for icing / acting.

    Given Hooper's 1 match ban for giving a player a black eye, and Pocock receiving a warning for kneeing someone in the back, anything more than a 1 match ban would be a complete farce and an utter disgrace.

    As Thornley said, by the time the World Cup in Japan comes around we will be playing tag.

    So that's the Irish point of view on the incident? For my brain sanity I'd love to know if you all share this point of view.
