First topic message reminder :

Lot of discussion on Setanta - predictably not a mention on the rose-fixated ITV - on whether Lawes should (will) be cited for his "tackle" on Ledesma, Replays show pretty clearly that Lawes lead with his knee to Ledesma's head when Ledesma was on the ground and already out of play. There was no need to tackle Ledesma never m ind lead with the knee. Given how much the Argies love the English won't be surprised if he's cited. A

And please, my English friends, before you jump up in indignation go watch the playback.

Are you going to explain "history of dirty play" or was that an assumption as well?

Question,,, If he does get a three week ban could England send him home and replace him with another player.
Or does the ban mean that England will have one less player for the duration of the ban.

Sorry Cymroglan I don't think anyone knows. You could try looking on the IRB website to see if there are tournament regulations on replacing members of the team. If it says they can only swap out for injury then I guess the answer is they'll be down a player.

I thought it was one less player to choose from. That's part of the punishment, isn't it?

Don't forgot the Tongans. There are few Fijians but not as many. We've even got a Moldovan at Sale now. Very cosmopolitan

A banned player were replaced in 1995, when Pieter Hendriks was banned after the game against Canada in the pool match, Chester Williams was called in.

Gibson - I too want to see the best players, but this oaf may have put paid to Contepomi's RWC with his accidental knee to his ribs, and Tiesi's RWC with his barge. Whether it's deliberate or not he seems prone to accidents that injure the opposition.

If he is banned, I see no reason why MJ shouldn't have the option to send him home and a replacement flown in. This is what would happen in any normal team follwing a ban and would also avoid complications around front row citings - if say two out of three hookers in a squad got banned!

He was going to be originally, but then pulled a hamstring (sounds familiar doesn't it) just before the world cup, and got his shot against Samoa when he scored 4 tries in the test, a then record for tries in a test for a springbok. Yahoo

don't know if you can nowadays, but you could then, the way i figure it is the ban is to penalise the player, not the team.

If England had been playing New Zealand and Ledesma was Muliiana the headline would probably read:

"Should Lawes be Knighted for the knee on Muliiana" thumbsup


Funny old game and not for the feint hearted eh!

That's a reasonable position. I had assumed that any effects on the team /squad were part of the punishment...

this is why wendyball is fecked, no proper punishments that effect teh team while the game is in play, and retrospective punishments take ages and are meaningless.

Retrospective punishments should only effect the player, it will effect the team by proxy as if the player is any good then they will miss that experience/skill for the duration

cos its just another free kick and in a game where possession is easily turned over and you can pass forwards it didn't matter.

What they REALLY need is a sin bin (pink card) and the clock linked to refs watch. But thats another story.

I hope Lawes doesn't get suspended for the duration of the WC

I must admit that when i saw it first at normal speed it looked very bad. Having seen it later in slow motion it doesnt look much better but i do see that he is more trying to pull out of it than intenionally hurt.

It was a silly and clumsy attempt and he can be banned for it but i doubt he will as it honestly looked to me as if he was trying to avoid the contact.

Once for this but he decked Cian Healey in his last game before the WC, took out the Argie center with a late tackle and , the most cowardly of all, drops the knees on an old age pensioner.

Thug.

Are you on about Tiesi? You think that's late? You do know that having it in slow motion messing with the time frame don't you?

What did he do to Healey? And that tackle was legal. Powerful and in the end WC ending for Tiesi, but legal.

Lads, it was late. If Johnny Wilkos got hit with one of those you'd be up in arms.

He hit Healy in the "friendly" in Dublin a few weeks back and Healys eye socked got damaged as a result.

Neither as bad as dropping his knees on a 40 year old who was in touch, on the ground and out of play.

Tiesi tackle hard but he was committed, only late because T got ball away.

Ledesma...different story...lead with the knees, correctly cited and, in my view, will be sent home.

Quite a rep he is building, Jonners must be so proud

Why wasn't he cited against Healy? I can't even remember it happening (I remember all the stuff with Croft and the claims he had gouged Healy to cause the damage).

Cymroglan, it'll be on ITV player around 38mins. Don't know of any direct link.

If Lawes was leading with his knee then he would have hit him with his knee. If you look closely, Lawes tries to pull out and catches him with his thigh, very close to his toilet parts.

If he wanted to avoid him he could have. He will get off because cooper got off but i reckon a ban is appropriate as it probably should have been for cooper.

Sure we will all have our own views but i personally dont think that it was intentional. If he does get banned, he can have no complaints as it was very clumsy but i still doubt that it was intenional.

He may not have intentionally wanted to hurt him but I wont buy the excuse that he tried to pull out of the tackle.

The Great Aukster wrote:Gibson - I too want to see the best players, but this oaf may have put paid to Contepomi's RWC with his accidental knee to his ribs, and Tiesi's RWC with his barge. Whether it's deliberate or not he seems prone to accidents that injure the opposition.

If he is banned, I see no reason why MJ shouldn't have the option to send him home and a replacement flown in. This is what would happen in any normal team follwing a ban and would also avoid complications around front row citings - if say two out of three hookers in a squad got banned!

He kneed my Felipe? Phhoke im, hang de basterd out to dry! zen

Its not an excuse Cymro, i honestly do think that he tried to change his position so as not to hurt the poor guy.

It looked to me as if he was doing his usual 'hard man' thing.

ie he is trying to hurt the man, but not illegally.

the trouble is that with this approach, the margin for error is small, and if you get it a bit wrong, you get cited.

The tackle on Tiesi was fine, that on Ledesma not so.

He put in a crunching tackle on Felipe, but in fairness Felipe was already carrying a knock from earlier on in the game. Definitely the tackle that meant he had to come off, though there wasn't anything wrong with it at all.

He's an English player, and even more damning, you can associate him with Jonno. Clearly guilty of tackles, hitting props with his testicles, arson in a naval dockyard and walking on the cracks in the pavement while wearing a loud shirt in a built up area.

Burning's too good for him. Throw the dog out.
