And Carter is
banned for a week.
From a game which he wasn't going to play in anyway. hahaha
But he'll be back for the big money game at Twickenham - so the IRB will get all the cash they'd planned.
What a crock of steamy poo the IRB judicial process has become.
Now apparently - any accidental high tackle will receive a 1-week suspension.
Wales might end up playing the Samoan 7s side in a couple of weekends if they get lucky. The island boys like their tackling - but the game is in danger of becoming run by moany arse former Kiwi coaches - and random media types who know sweet nothing about the code.
Dunwho - you're right - even Martin Roberts said the same - what happens on the pitch stays on the pitch - you shake hands after and get on with it.
Speaking of moany tubby bastards - Gatland has now come out and said
he didn't want Carter banned. Make up your insufferable mind you dopey little dickhead. Reading that article you've been listening to too many sports psychologists.
No disrespect the Welsh fans - because this is not about them - Gwald has been unanimous in rubbishing the citing as well. I do wonder if a decision and precedent like this won't come back to haunt them - tackles like that occur in every game - and if the citing process of the IRB is to be worth anything - all tackles like that must be cited.
But I won't hold my breath.
Still no mention from Sean Edwards about what he thinks of Stephen Jones kicking Brendon Leonard in the head. A red card Sean? Or a citing perhaps? No mention of it from the AB camp either - because that sort of thing happens sometimes - you leave it on the field and have a beer afterwards.
Wait - I must away, I hear the wings of Saint Brian "I could have doied" O'Driscoll approaching......
