Nope.

Manu wasnt a Red

Marler very lucky.

Could all be academic anyway, unless the ban is match not week specific.
To win is not as important as playing with style!

"...he is free to resume playing on Tuesday, 14 April 2020."

Should just about coincide with the season being called off.

The game I love has died. A bunch of witless, humourless (Please insert own description here) set these punishments....... Disgusted of Llanfoist.

Joe, The next time you see AWJ just lamp him. Take your three weeks and have done with it.

An absolute travesty.

Agreed. Complete double standards, no consistency whatsoever!

Herein lies the problem...
Consistency ??

If he was banned for 4 weeks, the decision made on Thursday 12th March, then my calendar suggests the 4 weeks are up on 9th April - not 14th. It matters because of the London Irish game.

They say weeks but mean meaningful matches. Tigers don’t have a game this week so this week isn’t counted. He will be unavailable for Exeter, Bath, Castres and London Irish.
