@catogrande I can't help but think it should be down to championship at least, regardless of how much you blow out. Makes a mockery otherwise.

I agree but it seems like the RFU is still run like an old boys club. The right cries, the right ties and if you immediately say sorry sir then “we can sort this out between us”. Sarries we’re always the big spending, brash upstarts and didn’t immediately bend over for 6 of the best.

One law for them, one law for him.
There is a reason why the fans are moaning more about the refs and law application.

@machpants Absolutely no intention to make a tackle.

lol
why should he change. He whacks blokes and never gets sanctioned.

One of many such actions, and almost never called up for it

Have been going through the Top League One media releases and noticed that Isi Manu has already had two yellow cards and a citing commissioner warning (=equivalent of a yellow card) in the short time he's been there. For context, he's played 5 matches. One match suspended.
I remember him getting a red card in the NPC. Is he a muppet or a thug?

That’s quite astounding in itself. He’s now got such a rep for it, you’d think the officials would be a little more vigilant. Yesterday’s was pretty clear cut no arms.

More players available for MP, and Drua 2024+, maybe?
@machpants Could also make gaining places in the MLR in America somewhat competitive for those displaced from the Gallagher Premiership.

@bones I often wonder why the ref doesn't just keep the play going and those that want to play play and those that want to fight keep on fighting. It could lead to tries being scored simply as a result of uneveness in numbers wanting to play and if it was your side that conceded points then you only have yourselves to point the finger at.
If the brawlers are in the way of, for example, a scrum restart well simply move the scrum ten metres away and get on with play. If some of the brawlers later get in the way or impede those still playing then award a penalty for shepherding, or obstruction or man in front or something like that against the offending team and keep on playing. When the brawlers stop you can then be dealt with at the next break in play.
A bit of left field thinking I know, but it might work. -
