I am trying to work out who the citing commissioner is for the game but can't find it anywhere. I think Carter should be cited to send out a message that boots have no reason to be heading anywhere near a fellas face when he is scoring a try. It was reckless by Carter, even if it was...

SA has lost so many players overseas for whatever reason. Can they really go on telling 18 year olds that they are too small to play rugby in SA only to see those players emigrate with a point to prove elsewhere. Looking at that tired, fat, old front row knowing that one of the strongest young...

I thought Nig was very good in the Kingsholm arm wrestle between Tonga and Georgia. Garces is a very fine ref, however. Barnes was actually better than usual because, for once, he actually made the tacklers roll. He was still crap, obviously, but nothing like as bad as usual.

I think Scotland or Samoa could knock the Saffers out altogether. SA rugby looks like it is in crisis. They do play some fecking dumb rugby at times, as well. I sometimes wonder whether they deliberately try and make things hard for themselves.

I was with you, but the injury list is starting to get silly at this stage.

But the incident will not be judged by a NH citing panel, it will be under different auspices. I guess I am surprised that no one else on green and gold has even mentioned the issue yet it was brought up immediately by a number of posters on Munsterfans. It indicates to me that head injuries...

No reason to hate the man, I think that little trip today is the dirtiest thing I have ever seen the man do. He plays right on the edge of legality but he is not even close to a cheap shot merchant. Wonderful player but not as good as he was.

Donncha O'Callaghan is one that immediately stings to mind. It was unintentional and he didn't even make contact but picked up a ban. Carter's foot moved towards your man's head, he made contact. I would say that is reckless. Not intentional I am sure but reckless none the less. I think he could...

Yet more injuries for the Wale. Corey Allen gone now and rumours of a prop as well who you would assume is James. Have the Welsh players got too big over the summer? EDIT I think it is even worse than that, Lee and James have tight calves (compartment syndrome?) and Jarvis has popped a rib...

I think he is a brilliant player, certainly the best I have seen and a lot of the abuse he gets is pure jealousy. That said, time is just starting to catch up with the man and the clever/ cynical bits and pieces that have made him so brilliant are starting to get spotted. NZ are not the force of...

The priority given to head injuries has changed quite fundamentally since that incident. Possibly it was that incident that precipitated it because, ironically, Joe Schmidt kicked up such a fuss about it. There have been a few incidents of players getting banned in the NH for incidents just like...

Since when did you trip someone up by the head? EDIT and the POC incident happened well over two years ago when Schmidt was still the Leinster coach.

As the Puma's four scored the try Carter's boot made contact with his head. What Carter's boot was doing there God knows but he would be cited in the NH.

No I was thinking of Donncha O'Callaghans missed kick near an Ulster players head that saw him get two weeks.

One of them being kicked in the head by Carter, without sanction hasn't helped.

Why is it outrageous? A very comfortable win, with no injuries and not much given away to the analysts.

Amazed no one has mentioned Carter kicking the Puma's try scorer in the head. That would be cited in the NH even though it wasn't deliberate, it was reckless, dangerous and your man has been concussed as a result.

Carter just kicked a fella in the head. Wonder if he will get the citing he deserves. McCaw yellow carded for a trip!!!!

I don't think he keeps scrums remotely square. The pressure on the hookers at times is frightening with everyone boring in.

It won't make any difference to Roman Poite. The only thing that concerns him is who gets the nudge on. Whether or not they are legal doesn't remotely matter.
