Brumbies v Chiefs - R6 2016

[waiopehu oldboy]

If "they" are the Brumbies then I doffs my hat to them for at least showing some respect to the judicial process.

Kudos to Pocock for copping to what he did. I suspect, too, that his "remorse" was likely somewhat more genuine that what we've seen from others in the past. I still think three actual matches would've been fair, tho.

well I didnt expect 3 weeks but it is what it is... Must have been worse than I thought... I look forward to pococks return after a short rest...

Mate don't give him brownie points for this.

Agree. it was a pretty nasty piece of foul play. Watching Leitch flailing against him while Pocock deliberately choked him was not pleasant viewing.

Not giving him brownie points, just saying he & the Brumbies appear not to have treated this with the contempt generally shown. Like I said, three actual matches would've been fair I.e. four weeks for the offence less one week for the guilty plea & previously clean record.

Should have got longer.
Deliberately strangling someone while they continuously tap out - horrible.

Worst WrestleMania in years.

Pretty hard when there's video of you strangling a guy. If this was a court of law the only way he could of got out of that was to plead insane.

I'm surprised Messam didn't run onto the field with a chair.........

By geez I like Poey as a player etc, and don't really think he was trying to do anything really evil, more careless than anything, but f*** me his face book apology is certainly a bit over the top, and making it hard to keep my brekky down. A simple 'sorry I stuffed up' would of been quite bloody sufficient!!

The positive side of this? He's going to rest for his Wallabies' duty

All that duty in 2-3 months? Good thing he's getting the rest in early.

Any break is good at this level. Don't forget that the starter ABs don't play the first rounds and the starter Springboks can't play 5 games in a row
