lost to Stade in a 'bruiser'.
Will be interesting to see how long a ban Harinordoquy gets, with Lievremont missing already.

6 weeks would be a nice start

6 months would be better

no word on bans yet

saw the highlights last night - brutal would be an understatement. The ref could have picked up to about 15 players to send off. Mike James in particular would seem to have a future in the ring.

cheers browner

that's a complete joke. AT least the RFU are stamping down on foul play (Moody got an extra 2 weeks on top of the 4 Leicester had given him internally for striking an opponent)
in addition to those pair, at least a dozen other players could and should have been cited and banned from the Biarritz-Stade game.

in addition, Caucau should get the book thrown at him - he made a poor kick forward and got tackled. He got up and stamped at an opponent's head who was lying on the floor.
