  Dagse maybe you know more about this one Gbs. Other than missing out on the Lions Currie Cup opener on the 16th July am not sure how this ban will affect Butch James, its hardly much of a 4 week ban more like a one week ban if the player is only going to miss out on one game. The Tri nations starts the following weekend for the Boks so this means Butch would be available if selected. When it says the players are banned from all rugby does it mean they are banned from playing the games but still allowed to train with their teams in the periods or is it a complete lockout?

  1@ Bullscot:
  They can train with the team… just no games played.

  @ grootblousmile:
  Ok thanks for clearing that one up Gbs, so its not that much of a punishment really, in effect just a one week ban. I have said before that for these bans to be effective they need to be carried forward into the players next playing season, whether that be domestic or international.

  Whatever possessed him to make that tackle, he knows Daniel is a slippery character, but then take his legs. Clearly he was trying to stop Daniel distributing the ball quickly, then you meet him face to face and grab the ball. This is a Brian Lima tactic, going for the chest and then just off and bang, suspended with his record, now everybody is watching him again.
