Sports (Talk about balls here.)
So New Zealand duo Issac Luke and Jeremy Smith have withdrawn their challenges against their suspensions after their foul deeds in last weeks game
Luke was going to contest a two-match ban for an illegal leg break action on scrum-half Rangi Chase - I for one have never seen this in any rugby game before – he had made the tackle fair and square and then twists his leg in the hope of inflicting damage
Smith had also opted not to fight a one-match ban imposed for illegal use of the forearm on Sam Tomkins - only ONE match for this cowardly action!
However the Kiwi forwards have now decided to accept the suspensions which can be wiped out in pre-season trial matches! Whats the point?
Time for "on report" to be binned and replaced with the ref looking at the video AT THE TIME and/or automatic yellow card if an incident is put on report.
It should be instant justice in the match!
