Marler got 10 weeks ban for the crotch grab. Much ado about nothing or sensible setting of standards in this modern age for a mindless act?

Imagine if had been a woman he had grabbed. Why should it be any different?

The last woman in a male rugby match was probably Erica Roe

I think it's about right TBH, meant to be professional athletes.
Reading Danny Care's comments on the BBC put my eye brows on the ceiling, sounded a bit like the sort of thing a Weinstein apologist would say.
In other news we are losing Louw at the end of the season, a true giant and gent of the game,big blow for us but hey we can continue to be mediocre without him.

If Marler had touched (I’d argue he didn’t “grab” anybody) a woman then it certainly wouldn’t have been during a rugby match, so of no relevance whatsoever to the conversation.
Given the Twitter s**t storm after the event, there was only ever going to be one outcome. The authorities had to be seen to make an example of him, to prevent it occurring at every level from Premiership down to u10s, despite IMO him not actually contravening the World Rugby rule of "grabbing, twisting or squeezing”.

I think it's sexual assault. I know someone who tea bagged a 17 year old and got put on the sex offenders register.

What surprises me is the lack of sanction for EJ criticising the Ref during the after match comments.
Too many others have suffered fines and other sanctions for lesser comments for this to be ignored.
I know I.m Welsh but I think I would be seeking a decision from the RFU or World Rugby were I from any other country.
