Delighted Ruddock is back. He is such a physical specimen. He work be able to win balls like POM buy he will smash everything in front of him, will clear rucks and adds a little something at scrum/maul time.

Well b*llocks.

Can see this coping a ban. I harbour a strong dislike towards Pape after this year.

In an effort to communicate good Karma for Seanie's hearing I am not going to publicly say what I think of Pape. Hopefully just a week for Seanie and the lads can get him through to the semi final. Delighted Ruddock is fit to be called up, POM is a massive loss but Ruddock has power to burn. Still have a good feeling about Sunday and the tournament as a whole.

Pape was also involved in O'Connell's injury, trying to clean him out by rolling straight back over POC's knee; and he fractured Heaslip's vertebrae last year with the knee to the back. The O'Connell injury may be more incidental, but Pape doesn't have a great track record with Irish forwards.

If Pocock was only warned for a knee, no telling what will happen. In both cases they were both being illegally held off the ball, and in both cases they did what they did to free themselves. So... who knows.

Surely they decided it's ban-worthy, otherwise why make him face the Judiciary?
To me it's similar to Hooper's power-slap on Sanchez, yes he hit near the head but he was in motion and chasing a try opportunity. SO'B was just standing there

Why did they make Pocock face the judiciary?

Don't see how SOB's is closer to Hooper's than Pocock's. Both were being illegally held off the ruck -- not running -- and both struck the player holding them in the torso. One did it with a knee, one with an open hand.

I thought he was cited and let off with a warning. If not, my mistake. Pretty sure he was warned for something, though.

He received a "Citing Commissioner Warning" which on its own doesn't warrant a hearing (or a ban).
"A combination of three yellow cards or Citing Commissioner Warnings accumulated during the tournament will result in a hearing."

"Marcelo Bosch (Argentina) has been cited by independent Citing Commissioner Peter Larter (England) for an alleged act of foul play contrary to Law 10.4(e) during the Rugby World Cup 2015 Pool C match between Argentina and Namibia at the Leicester City Stadium on Sunday, 11 October. Law 10.4(e) deals with dangerous tackles."

I didn't see the game, how much trouble is Bosch in?

On SOB, can't see him getting away with something so blatant regardless of the provocation (I mean, just being Pape is provocation enough, surely :)), probably just a week but wouldn't be surprised if it's two.

It shouldn't be two, but the citing system is a nonsense and is open to all sorts of accusations of bias. Make all the deliberations open to the public so we can all see how the process works. Wrong for an Australian to be citing Scottish players ahead of a QF between the two nations.

They do make all of the decisions and deliberations public.

The big difference between the Poe incident and the O'Brien incident is the footage. The footage on Poe is a bit unclear. It looks like he kneed the player but you cant say with certainty what contact was made. O'Brien's is pretty clear cut. Hopefully no more than a week.

Yeah - they get to see something like 13 different camera views all at HD which can be shown at full speed, 50% or 25%.

Much, much more evidence than what we get on the broadcast feed

Pape was into his bollock grabbing in the 2011 World Cup final. He took a liking to Kaino's nuts apparently.

While we are in the subject, I think the French will bring the stealthy filth against the ABs on Saturday.
