Leicester Tigers

So Gabrillagues cited, no scandal, IMO reckless at most and accidental otherwise, but you can discuss the matter, and Ashton verdict can stand (with appeal outcome as well on the other hand) Sempere cited on the basis of a complain of Ayerza, no evidence at all, but you can bet he is gonna get 25 we...

Mon ami, the fact that all three of Tigers front row suffered damage to their eyes, shows it was clearly team policy and the TY yellow card was sought and drawn. This is very disappointing for a club like SF. Win at all costs? Loose all your friends. Not all three. Cole by Grabillagues was clearly ...

I agree if OTY has done anything he should also be punished. However you cannot say that Slimani did not have his hand in Tom's face, the picture in the link clearly shows so. http://imgur.com/gallery/bkJMFcM/new True, while pushing him back, Slimani touches his chin, for a fraction of second, befo...

So it's now lunchtime on Tuesday. Still no announcement of citings, or have I missed it? No, no announcments, just rumors unelashed by a french regional newspaper (Sud ouest). Last week for round 5 annoucements were made as soon as monday afternoon. Maybe sign that there are some ongoing discussion...

French press say that Gabrillagues and Sempere (hooker) could be cited, along with Youngs. Doesn't say if gouging is the reason for all.

From the video it appears that after Tom clears Slimani out, Slimani reacts by putting his hand into Tom face around his eyes. Given that the two other front rows had already experienced problems with gouging Tom probably thought enough was enough with this type of foul play. IMO on that incident c...

NantionalFrog, you are making weak counteraction to deflect away from the reality of Saturday. Don't excuse the inexecusable. Disagree. Ayerza and Cole seem to have mentionned they have been gougged. If intentional, then a ban, possibly heavy, could be justified. But you can not rely on "the f...

Hi Guys, You are a little bit harsh on this: You are right to mention that gouging might be a far too common french rugby cultural pattern (although not that frequent), but Dupuy and Attoub's bans were quite...weird since without any clear proof (Attoub being given 70 weeks on the basis of a single...

Hi NantionalFrog and Welcome! but Dupuy and Attoub's bans were quite...weird since without any clear proof (Attoub being given 70 weeks on the basis of a single picture) Without any clear proof........really? Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9aKZIh2CHc I think that's pretty clear about ...
