Kepu banned for 3 weeks. Taufa'ao Filise also banned for 3 weeks.

I haven't watched the highlights yet but was Turner's worse than theirs? Bearing in mind that Kepu's was an uproarious assault and Filise should be commended for showing such vigour for a 40 year old.

Don't get me wrong, Turner was a twat and deserves the ban, but no way was it worse than Kepu's for example. Not even in the same ballpark. It was more in line with something like Sean O'Brien punching that French guy in the world cup. A bit of a shitebaggy cheap shot.

O'Brien of course got one week ban, apparently because he's a nice guy and said sorry.

Turner was brought up on
Law 10.4 (f) Playing an opponent without the ball
Under World Rugby's Sanctions for Foul Play, Law 10.4 (f) carries the following sanction entry points - Low End: 2 weeks; Mid-range: 6 weeks; Top end: 10 to 52 weeks.
It was decided it was a mid range offence it was reduced by 2 weeks due to a guilty plea

So that must have been the same that  Kepu was done for, when he deliberately launched himself at force, shoulder first into an opponent's head, except his must have been considered lower level. Bit of a joke really.

Kepu was a different law(10.4 (h)) and was given a 50% reduction due to past conduct and guilty plea.

Isn't it great to see a backline with 6 Scottish guys who are all fast as f**k? Even if they are playing for Embra.

The 1872 games are going to be fucking belters!!
