I very much doubt AC is fighting for the right for genital touching to be perfectly acceptable, or that because it's happened before it's OK now. Just that talk of sexual assault and the like is very much OTT. Intent has to matter. Right? Situation has to matter. Right? Relationship between the 2 parties has to matter. Right? What Marler did was either (i) an attempt to provoke an opponent in to retaliation, or (ii) a very mis-judged joke by someone whose sense of humour seems to have no off switch. It needed to be dealt with as a discouragement for anyone else stupid enough to copycat. It has been dealt with. I don't really care whether it got 2, or 6 or 10 weeks; that won't matter in the fullness of time.

If the other nations follow suite (or are already doing so) you can get your game time fix with what you can assume will be a favourable result for your team of choice.

BT are trying, but there's only so many times they can ask Ben, Ugo and Austin, "So, how will the players be feeling during this layoff?"
