Liam was very lucky - the red mist came down, a bit.
Whether rightly or wrongly, after 3 games Wales and/or Scarlets will be free to select him - and TBH they'd be mugs not to do so. I only hope he learns from this and calms down a bit - his courage and passion are all very well, up to a point - but he went well beyond that. Enough!

That would mean you can gouge someone's eyes in the pro14 and play in the 6 nations the week after. |

I think it should be like football, where you miss x games in the competition that the offence took place in.

I’d like a disciplinary sentence to impose a return to play condition that X must play say 3 games before being allowed to be selected at international level.
Might help attitudes and thought processes improve.

He’s incredibly lucky to only get that but I suspect it will benefit Wales more than us unfortunately (unless the 6N is moved).

One seriously lucky player to have a 3 week ban. Especially as there's no fixtures for the next 2 weeks.

That's a ridiculous ban if we're being honest. Deserved far more. And a week off for showing remorse? Anyone can say sorry 5 days after the event. He asked the referee if "we are playing touch rugby now?". Not his first ban either.
I do wonder if a non 6 Nations player would have received a harsher ban. Edited by KID A - 14 January 2021 at 1:20pm |

Does this mean we are playing the Blues next weekend?
One of the games covered by the suspension is set to be a clash between the Scarlets and Cardiff Blues the weekend after this one which is in the process of being arranged.

Yes Wil & RR you can't get away from our pretty awful discipline as being a large contributor to our average season to date. I would add lack of pace as another big factor aside from coaching. Teams are looking at playing with tempo against us more and more which they would never have done a few seasons ago.

2 yellows and 4 reds this season.
Blues are the only team worse than us in the ‘discipline league’ with 8 yellows and a red. You are right RR, it’s the above plus our very modest attacking stats. |

I don't think its just that. Our skillset has been awful many times. Players unable to string more than a few passes together. Infuriating. That and poor kicking. The Blues game after we went ahead in the 2nd half was classic game mismanagement. I thought we were going to go on and win by 10-12 pts.
