    We’ve all done things on the field after disengaging the brain, that was right up there though. I wonder what the internet wags in NZ had to say about it.

    Story in Telegrapgh about how Jones has approached JW about a role in the England setup. TBH I could see JW focusing on his Toulon coaching role and giving England a miss for the time being. What also amused me was Eddie speaking about team building and sending the England players down the pub with £10 for a night out, lads don’t spend it all at once eh. £10 😀

    Interesting commenst about Pep G too

    Two Glasgow players cited. One swinson(?) flanker pulling at scrum half shorts to impede him. Given some things that should be citings how is standard, if mildly illegal, play a citing?

    I’ve read he was cited for attacking Lee Dickson’s testicles.

    Attacking testicles?

    Ah look, few beers, we’ve all been there…

    TBH, if he did try to crush Dickson’s testicles I’m surprised no one walloped him for doing so!

    Ashton cited for hands to eyes – min 12 week ban if found guilty (so says Sky)

    Needs a view from the other side obvs, but it doesn’t look great does it?

    EDIT: the Ashton one.

    Its a high tackle at the very least.
    TRT cited for biting too.

    Typical Ashton really.
    Given another opportunity to get into the national side and does something stupid

    As per Ciprirani. Thats why I am so anti both of them. No doubting their talent but “head issues” tend not to change

    @aa agreed its a head (not even a neck) tackle at least

    As well as Ashton,Swinson cited for the punch and Wilson for touching up Dickson. I await the fair and impartial sentences handed down based on whether he is English or not sorry,the severity of the acts,as we saw during the WC.

    The Wilson one needs a gif. Damn sure that if he’d grabbed at dicksons testes then punches would have been thrown. But there’s no real reaction.

    If he misses this 6 nations that could be his career. Two on the trot for violent behaviour one on one off the pitch.

    I am a bit torn on this type of thing. Being a bit too far this way got the Lancaster squad of nice chaps. I hate to bring the Nonu example up again but he is 100% guaranteed to have a massive, game changing brain fart unless he is wearing an AB jersey. Playing for NZ is a different story and it is often hard to believe he is the same player. You can’t help feeling that something in the NZ coaching setup can get the best out of him and I wonder if, for people like Cipriani perhaps, you overlook some of the stupid stuff in return for making sure they are absolutely on their A-game come international time. Of course there is a limit to what you overlook and Cipriani isn’t the superstar answer to England’s problems but you get the gist. That said, when he has played for England briefly he hasn’t really put a foot wrong (on the pitch).

    I never knew Wilson had a poor discipline record.

    Ashton is a bit of a **** true, but that is just a stupid and dangerous tackle – gouging??? Just look at his head and eyes….enough said.

    Bit split on this too – frankly England could do with a few more nasty guys. How intimidating is the current team, how many nutters who might just smack you in the face for the fun of it? Compare our locks with the SA or even big Jim H – who would you not want to be standing next too.

    Lets have a brutal pack – then like any deterrent it is just the treat of violence, not the actual act that is required. 😉

    Wrecker;I never knew Wilson had a poor discipline record.

    He punched/pushed tweedledum and a red crayon in a takeaway while dressed as batman,the SRU banned him for 3 months. The guy he hit was an ex team mate with a poor memory of what he said to the police on a number of occasions.(I am in no doubt Wilson hit him,just maybe that the term assault may be quite fluid in this case)For context,the victim is a 6″3″ 16 stone ex-pro. However he is a back,so anything could have happened.

    I should not find that report on a serious assault as funny as I did.

    The scuttlebutt was that other guy assaulted, Quinn? was at the bottom of it and had tipped Wilson on to the floor when he had tried to climb into the booth. Cost Wilson £25k for 3 months wages and 6N money,plus a conviction. Quinn has a private damages claim on the go.

    14 weeks for the ref pusher! Kind of points to the dact Barnes got it very wrong.

    No Wilson for Scotland,( Barclay has agreed to delay the publication of his book “Me and Vern’s daughter” till after the 6n) Zander Fergusson also in,he will be easily to spot as he will be covered in tats with those ear expanders…..He is the ex Scottish junior downhill champion.

    So Ashton is out for the whole 6N. Eejit. That said how did he get a 3 week reduction for good character 😯 must have been packing chocolate hobnobs.

    What a tw*t!

    Pity because I think he’s a pretty handy finisher but there ya go…..

    Choccy Hobnobs? I would go for some of that shortbread with the chocolate chunks.

    Glad he got a proper ban, he is a tool.

    What an utter penis.

    To be fair, I’m not sorry he’s out. Not sure who the replacement will be though.

    Ashton will not be able to play again until Monday, March 28. England’s last Six Nations game is on March 19, away against France.

    And an all French panel. Coincidence?

    Not bothered about a coincidence. He is a dumb ass for chucking away yet another chance

    Well he did card him later for accumulated penalties. And he could have carded him later again but that would have meant a red so it was just a penalty and telling off. I’d suggest that Barnes tried very hard to be Mr Nice and keep Kolelelolshivilli on the pitch. So hard that he forgot he was reffing a rugby match. The Sky presenters seemed to think he’s a great ref though, so that’s alright. 🙄

    Indeed but it should have been a straight red no question

    Oh wait, he’s a 10.

    So, he should be starting the 6N as a blind side flanker. Onwards to victory!

    Much as I love watching Cipriani every week and admire him for staying at Sale, he should probably get on the phone to Toulon now

    Jolly nice of the RFU to fund us tier two nations development programme!

    If Wilson had been found guilty they would have had to impose a non contact rules around and in scrums and contact areas.
