That's not true though is it?

I think it is. He may not have been banned in each season (he wasn't given a ban last season for example), but the some bans may have been of sufficient length to roll into and be partially (or wholly) served the following season.

So RWC was in 2011...

2011/12 - March, Biting

2012/13 - December, Striking (Punch)

2012/13 - May, Verbal abuse

2013/14 - served out the end of previous ban above (admittedly is ran out the week before the first competitive match)

2014/15 - Decemeber, Striking (Elbow)

2014/15 - May, Headbutt (ran into first weeks of 2015/16 season)

So that's at least one served in every season since RWC 2011!

I wonder if his health might be more of a concern

Ah. So we're double counting. Are you an accountant?

By that argument you're not a Tigers supporter this season (which I am not at any point suggesting in any way whatsoever).
I am neither clever enough to understand nor stupid enough to play this game

So that's answering a question asked in another post.

My apologies for being one of those terrible human beings who, despite how good a rugby player he is (when playing), can't get over the fact he's a nastier piece of work than most others and is one incident away from being a liability.

Anyway, Rolymute back on.

Dylan I have to say is not my favourite player by a long way but IMHO henhas grown into the role. Is he the best hooker? Perhaps not. Has he the best temperment? No. Has he done a good job recently? Yes.

Given that competition is pretty poor then yes I think he's the man much as I don't like to admit
