Tim Visser will be on one of the wings( hopefully instead of Bowe who will be at home).
So he could not be traveling with Wales to Australia for the test matches?No surprise, Gatland has been offered the Lions coaching role.
For biting? 8 Weeks he is lucky really.Hartley got 8 weeks for biting Ferris. IRB should just do away with minimum sanctions as no one gets even the minimum ban anymore.
Thought Fatty was taking over in september? Hartley ban is complete jokeshop, if you are not going to have consistent sanctions then what is the fecking point. Clark up tomorrow, he will probably get a fortnight for deliberately breaking a fellas arm on account of good conduct and admission of guilt, ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!Gatland will be given next years 6Ns off if he's take the Lions role. Would expect him to still be with Wales for their summer tour and almost certainly the Autumn tests too.
England don't have many test hookers, the 8 weeks is so he can tour SA, I agree Cave dweller Biting should be no case to answer Banned 12 weeks is the minimum thats what he should have had at least.Hartley got 8 weeks for biting Ferris. IRB should just do away with minimum sanctions as no one gets even the minimum ban anymore.
Lancaster has been given the England job on a permanent basis. He's to be given a 4 year contract. I hope the RFU treat him well as he's already made some good changes to the England set up.
