Quinn Tupaea's injury's have been reveled. He has a  ruptured medial cruciate ligament (MCL) as well as a partial anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear in his left knee and will be out for 6 to 9 months . Darcy Swain has also been cited the case to be heard of Monday 

Should ban him for as long as Tupaea is injured, it was a deliberate attempt to hurt him imo.

I thought at the time he was extremely lucky not to be red carded

Hawke’s Bay’s almost 2 year hold of the Ranfurly Shield ended yesterday when they lost 12-19 to Wellington. Wellington last won the Shield in 2009. Their first defence of it is a tough game against Waikato on Saturday, Waikato currently top the NPC Odds Conference 5 points above 2nd place Wellington.

As I've said further up, Foley can cry all he likes but he had more than enough warnings.

The only problem anyone should have with the call is how rarely it is applied, I certainly can't ever remember it happening in a really big game before. I can think of loads of games where it should have happened though.

Agree with this.

I'd also like to see them tighten up on taking penalties from the mark. You regularly see them brought back for a quick tap that was taken millimetres from the mark, but the lads kicking to touch run 10 yards through the mark before hoofing it

i know it is just funny that the more they complain (haven even put a complaint in to world rugby) more comes out proving the ref got it correct. 

Also Swain's hearing will now be on Wednesday

He's also set to be named in the Australia A squad to tour Japan, a tour lasting 3 games, conveniently leaving him free to play in all the Autumn Tour Tests for the full team.
That was only them trying to pull a fast one if the ban was x number of games. He will still miss the 1st 2 autumn tests

4 changes in the forwards, looks a better selection, bu 6/2 splits in the subs can get in the sea

Wasps going tits-up any minute now 😪 .  We've been a basket case for years, but it's finally catching up with us.

I suspect a managed admin, with relegation to come at the end of the season.

I think all the assets have been separated from the playing side

Wasps are a giant who'll hopefully bounce back quickly.

However if you look at their official FB posts there's always Coventry City fans forever looking for a troll opportunity. They'll have a field day if Wasps get relegated etc.
