Kala is an option but wouldn't like to lose Fitzgerald also would like to see Owen replaced.

Why is Owen likely to be banned?

What a mental season, we've only played about half an hour of decent rugby and we're only 6 points off Europe.

Realistically 8 pts off due to our vastly inferior points difference.

Officials saw it at the time and nothing came of it. It was just a “normal” ruck.

It was nothing like Tom Youngs' clearout, Owen went into the ruck on Flood, Flood was low and there was minimal contact with the shoulder/neck area. It was the commentary team, Ugo Monye in particular who started talking and oohing and ahhing about it and comparing it to OTY's red card last week...similar contact point etc, absolute rubbish IMO.

The angle he came in at there's no way Toby Flood's neck would have got hit...his ears would have been in the way :smt002 :smt003

At first they thought Toby went off for an HIA after contacting Manu's thighs in a tackle but replays showed it was ruck contact. Flood walked off fine, came back on later and Deano said afterwards he didn't know why he'd gone off and that he thought he played better afterwards.

No problem, just my view of it. Probably means he'll be cited..... :smt005 :smt005
