gives enough grounds for an instant appeal, the panel wasn't neutral

I can't see this being even considered, unless they deem it high end rather than mid range.

If mid range he'll be back before the Leinster game so therefore they are independent.

Not really just more subtlety in the potential corruption....

My view is it should be a consistent panel across each league, then one member from each leagues panel onto the European one, might get some consistency of decision then.

Now that's faaaaaaaar too sensible a suggestion...

Have I missed a post that lists who we think is unavailable through suspension or injury over the coming weeks ? I’m sure I saw one but can’t find it

The first post in this thread says this I try and keep it up to date on page 1.

It's just another indication of EPCR's "big picture" incompetence. Like appointing Brace to officiate last weekend. Ok, given the previous result it doesn't matter, but from the wider perspective it looks poor.

Oh, c'mon. Let's not get sucked into the QAnon, rabbit hole world of conspiracies and underhandedness. You have to believe the officials are honest otherwise the game is unplayable. Certainly unwatchable. Perhaps, to satisfy such worries the EPRC should be reffed only by Southern hemisphere officials? But, honestly, it's not necessary.

Doesn't need to be Southern Hemisphere, just not Irish and not English (that leaves Scottish, Welsh and French from the involved nations).

Originally, I was going to put: Assume an English team play a Welsh; the winner to play a French team and the winner of that to play an Irish one. In the mad world of conspiracies an Irish judge might impose a long sentence on a perpetrator from the first game to assist his team in the last. Nuts. Tin-foil hat stuff.

Depends, does the Irish beak give a 12 week suspension for 2 yellows for deliberate knock on in this scenario?

Dan Kelly seen walking without crutches in London on Instagram. A slight positive sign.

Henderson said at the game on Saturday that he’s a couple of weeks out, but it sounded like a Borthwick response to me!

Interesting to note on all these decisions from yesterday, max 50% reduction has been added (where player has a clean record), all mid range incidents so, definitely looks pretty good in terms of Chessum. Also worth noting one of the decisions has also been overturned.
