what a fucking travesty!
a man without a heineken cup yellow card to his name in over 6 years gets suspended for 6 weeks to an allegation he pleaded guilty to
he then appealed over the length of the ban which will cost him a place in two heineken cup matches and jeopardise his place in irelands 6 nations squad

two weeks later the same committee reviewed a similar incident involving danny grewcock lee mears- a pair of disgraceful cheating fucks with an appalling record

they gave those two tossers a one week ban each

This was presumably stamping on some other chap, eh?

yes, it was a stamping offence
but the severity of his punishment is quite unreasonable
a man with no previous gets suspended for 6 weeks

while some serial offenders just get a one week slap on the wrist and told to get on with it

In any other sport, stamping on somebody would get you suspended sine die.

They're coming down hard on stamping this year though, so that was why.

Why is it so severe? Did Quinlan stamp on somebodys head or something?

Gutted for Quinlan because it is way out of character (whereas it isn't for Grewcock). Luckily it's a position where Munster and Ireland well covered.

Does Quinlan play under the ERB?. England were probably doing their usual thing of making sure he was available for the internationals.

I tried a HC cup thread before, no one seems to like rugby here, man

Its difficult to see past the French teams really innit? Stade Francais i'm going for.

I support Gloucester and the Leinster away game on Sat will be crucial...
