    Scotland have had Gray and Ford decision over turned and they're both available to play tomorrow.

    so all the whinging about SOB getting banned for 1 week for a single punch, but its ok to turn a guy upside down and drop him on his head.

    Its beyond a joke at this stage

    the mother of ben robinson in the concussion documentary is 100% right when she said nothing will change until there is a death on live tv.

    Fairly sure he's joking......

    Also I heard last night when he was playing for Quins the ref was having a word with him about something and Marler said "you have to understand my frustration levels here, you didn't get kicked out of the world cup, I did"

    Out of all the bans it was clearly the most dangerous incident. The guy was dropped on his head and his whole body weight was placed through his neck. Three weeks was lenient!

    I dunno man. He was already bridged over the ball with his head right by the ground. All that happened was his legs were lifted - unfortunately both at the same time, by two different players.

    That's a bit dramatic. They aren't playing tiddlywinks, there are risks involved. The Samoan player was essentially already past horizontal, he wasn't turned over and dumped on his head.

    Jack Lam and the Samoan Rugby union apparently asked for the ban to be reduced. For all the weight their opinion carries with WR...

    Felt sorry for the Scottish lads but at the same time it looked really dangerous. World Rugby need to sort their house out.

    Feels odd after the last few weeks having to wait until eight o'clock for the next game.

    Reminder Ireland. You're good, but maybe not as good as you think.

    Let's hope all the other teams have that attitude anyway, if people continue to underestimate us we will continue to win

    What an odd comment to make... You'd swear we were all making posts about how good we were ... The last few pages are full of posts about the Scottish bans :confused:
