BRISTOL vs TIGERS - Sat 27 Feb 21 (1300)

[TigerFeetSteve]

nothing on the RFU site this morning, all the other are there though...must working out how many weeks they can ban them for and not look like twits

The only 3 on there are the ones who's hearings were on Tuesday evening. Wiese, Liebenberg & Brookes all had theirs last night so I'm guessing they're still typing it all up.

The cynic in me is thinking most of the others got 4 weeks so what's the betting our lads get 6-8 weeks! I am I'm wrong (usually am!)

Pretty much best we could have hoped for, pretty happy with that.

I predicted 4 and 3 weeks so better than expected.

I still think there needs to be a rethink concerning the law when a player jumps into another player standing on the ground.

Don’t mind Ridley too much, not the best not the worst.

Same TMO as last week against Wasps and CMK as assistant referee.. can’t wait

Anyone else get a delightful mental image of the 2nd AR?

When you put AR I was thinking of Arnold Ridley!

Not wanting to reopen the argument, but having watched the incident on the highlights again Liebenberg is nowhere near being able to get to the ball. And the Wasps player isn't jumping dangerously, he's probably as vertical as you can be when running and jumping.

I suggest we leave this one as it could go round in circles for ever. It's open to interpretation and all that matters I guess is that both players were ok and he's only out for 2 weeks. He seemed to be holding his shoulder so hope there's no serious damage

[Noggs]

My comment was in general rather than with respect to this particular incident.

I believe it is an area of the game where changes to the laws could be considered.

Players jumping in the air when receiving long kicks, where the only reason for doing so is the hope that the chasing player will mistime his tackle resulting in a penalty, is also worth considering.

However, for now we can let it go.

Waiting for the team news... come on midday! I'm thinking it's going to be Wells at 6 but we will see....
