          6 weeks is light for rugby for that incident.
          But in a comp of this length i reckon it's about right

            The competition length is irrelevant

            Anyway here's the rulings. Discounts for early pleas etc
            lomani-suspended
            koroiduadua-suspended

            Rugby has been having a crack down on high tackles for years because of CTE worries. It seems inconsistent to give light sentences for foul play directed at an opponents head

              @Duluth agree, 2 weeks for a headbutt is a joke.

                            Similar number of derby games left. The Blues number is largely about not playing the best Aussies sides yet (Brumbies, Rebels, Reds)

                            In terms of the run home, I think Home games remaining is worth looking at too. Chiefs have 2 of the last 7 at home. Blues 4 of the last 7. Canes 4 of the next 8

                              Blues have played three NZ teams and are 2 and 1, with a loss to the top team.

                              Chiefs have played three NZ derby games and are 2 and 1, with a loss to the bottom team. They've also played the bottom NZ team twice and the second bottom NZ team once.

                              Hurricanes have played three NZ teams, including the bottom two, but beat the Blues and are 3 and 0.

                              Highlanders have played the top three NZ teams and are 0 and 3. They have not played the bottom team yet.

                              Crusaders have played the top three NZ teams over four games, and are 1 and 3. Really shithouse performance from the Chiefs in that one. Some very lazy tackling, especially from non number 8 Jacobson.

                                @Duluth Given the Chiefs' poor away form so far, that must be a concern for them.

                                  Ball carriers hitting the ground as a result of a tackle attempt, being millimetres out of someone's grasp and being allowed to get up and go again, because they weren't "held".

                                  It's happening way too much in super rugby this year - at least fucken make them release the ball if they've hit the ground, but this isn't happening.

                                    Also getting sick of watching kickers walk up to the mark for a penalty when kicking for touch then starting their 5m run up to kick.

                                    Fucks sake, why don't the refs concentrate on the basics and build from there?

                                        What's the law here? Just need to touch ball carrier when he's tackled? In which case they're well within their rights to do what you're saying. A miss is as good as a mile.
