Richie Rees suspended for fiddling with Dylan Hartley's eyes

[JustinRSoles]

He got banned for that. wtf?

[sofii169]

@JustinRSoles What do you mean what the fuck?! He stuck his fingers in Dylan's eyes for gods sake! Eye gouging and fiddling with the eyes is a huge part of rugby in case you failed to notice! You don't do it, simple as, you do it, you get banned. Simple.

[JustinRSoles]

@sofii169 I really dont see any gouging there at all. Look at it from 1:00 to 1:03, his hand is on his face but you can see both his index and middle finger, they arent pushed into his eyes at all. Maybe it did happen, idk. But i dont see any proof of it in this video.

[1steveiam]

WTF!!!! why all the stupid bitchy comments......this is a rugby video. You know rugby, a mans sport where guys knock the shit out of each other on the field then have a pint waiting for their opposite number etc. yeah this may look bad but i'm sure they left it on the pitch. why can't you?

[M374EVL]

@1steveiam we can leave it on the pitch its just the usual keyboard commandoes winding everyones else up

[craney258]

I hate eye gouging !

[xLindtx]

All this hate on lawes? hes a young extremely gifted player who's already shown great athleticism and talent, (The reason he's made it into the England starting squad?). Plus its unbelievably entertaining to watch his big hits which as a saints supporter i cant get enough of.

[JustinRSoles]

@xLindtx Talented. But he comes accross as an absolute bell end. Englands answer to Gavin Henson.

[M374EVL]

courtney lawes is an opportunistic prick with a chip on his shoulder dylan hartley will never emulate the wind up skills of brian moore lucky garin jenkins is not playing in his era cos he would fused his jaw for him and that lanky darkie lawes wankers

[GWLAD]

@M374EVL well said mate

[cardigan3000]

@foreverfaceroll its a reply to the ginger comment- but i accept it does look racist

[cardigan3000]

@foreverfaceroll i dont think saying hes black is racist - rush smashes him after this

[muppetman666]

bit of hartley getting what he gives out

[imogen124]

Despite all the many comments.....It was still a chicken shit attempt to stick fingers in eyes no matter how much Hartley started it all.

[JamaicanMeCrazy86]

Dylan Hartley is an absolute idiot, as are most of the Saints team. Shame Melon didn't break his jaw. Replaced now by a fat OAP with crusty legs.

Lawes is a pussy.

[assassinsorigami]

@JamaicanMeCrazy86 lawes is a pussy thats like saying usain bolt cant run if anything courntey lawes can get pussy

[cardigan3000]

i loved how the black cunt doesnt want to know once rush gets involved

[vegatablesouptom]

to be fair to him hartley started it and by the looks of it Lawes had forced his head down so it was more likely a flailing arm than an attempted eye gouge...

[91truffles]

@rjp1997 I love the fact that I don't care, cause I don't support Northampton. Just pointing out how much of a machine Lawes is.

I also love the fact that Ireland have never won a world cup, and never will. Yeah, jog on.

[greetyboi]

@91truffles That's funny mate considering he's not Irish!! I do agree That Lawes is a machine!

I also love the fact you can't see that Tito and Hartley were going at it and Tito didn't need to start with Lawes so he left it !!

[91truffles]

@greetyboi how do you know he's not Irish?

[greetyboi]

@91truffles Coz i know him!

[91truffles]

@greetyboi where's he from then? why would he say "love the fact that northampton lost severly to leinster" if he wasn't irish?

[greetyboi]

@91truffles He's from Cardiff, and he posted that comment coz he obviously don't like Northampton!!

[91truffles]

@greetyboi He sounds like a cunt

[greetyboi]

@91truffles You sound like a cunt so touche!

[91truffles]

@greetyboi p.s. love the fact that Wales have never won a world cup, and never will.

[greetyboi]

@91truffles Wow that's original !!

Hope your head's not hurting after thinking so hard about that killer insult!

[91truffles]

@greetyboi Insulting intelligence? Bit ironic coming from someone that couldn't use correct grammar in his previous comments. I'm done with you.

[greetyboi]

@91truffles I don't give a fuck about my grammar i'm just saying that your Insult was incredibly Shit!

[Jarhead4848]

fukin love dylan

[M374EVL]

fucking english wankers god bless you all tidy english people

[91truffles]

i love how that ginger cunt doesnt want to know once courtney laws gets involved

[matt2k6wales]

@91truffles i dont really think that was the case it looked if laws came in and carmed things down !

[91truffles]

@matt2k6wales to be honest mate, I don't remember making this comment. But it must have been how I perceived it at the time I wrote it.

[ryan55885]

@91truffles whatever lad the little english twat would off be killed by the blues pack lol laws what a nobe

[nalod23]

northampton still won

[kataboy]

Am I the only 1 who thinks it wasnt even Richie Rees, looks like Gethin Jenkins and he barely touched the ass holes eyes. Dylan Hartley = Ass Hole

[macacaojim]

12 weeks for an accident; let's remember that Schalk Burger only got 8 for something that was blatantly intended to cause injury. Maybe I am partial but welsh player have been on the receiving end of some pretty harsh disciplinary decisions in the last few years. How many welsh representatives are on the disciplinary panel?

[somerandomer]

whether or not he actually intended to gouge hartley, you have to be extraordinarily thick to put yourself in that situation. what the hell did he think was going to happen when he grabbed hartley's face? you can't ever prove that someone intended to gouge. people still have to be punished for it. ban is justified.

[lamanodeldios86]

@somerandomer. The ban is justified? Really!? Can you not remember this thick fucking dimwit Hartley, in the same predicament, when he put HIS fingers in Scotland's Ross Ford's eyes? Did he receive a ban? Did he fuck!!! Let's just admit that Hartley, is at best, a talentless NZ reject who is a fucking cheap shot merchant!!!! He was banned for 6 mths himself in April 2007 (Wasps) for gouging 2 players in the same match (James Haskell and Jonny O'Connor). Cowardly bastard!!!!

[somerandomer]

@lamanodeldios86 I've searched my previous post and at no point did I say anything good about Hartley's disciplinary record. You must have imagined it. If you've got nothing to say about what I ACTUALLY SAID, then don't write an angry comment to me. I know Hartley has been guilty in the past. That doesn't mean it's OK for someone to do it to him.

[vegatablesouptom]

@lamanodeldios86 I wouldn't really call him talentless, I mean he's got the 2nd top lineout % in the premiership and top in the heineken cup and he's had some storming games over the last few years, tiz a shame about his tendency to start fights and cheat alot though :/

[wattsyrob]

what a joke, no way was that intentional

[TheCOM1993]

good spot

[ImTiredDude1234]

@Ronaldo7Messi10cz if you dont like it dont watch it simple as

[fazer990]

courtney lawes has a strange running style whilst he runs up to the fight

[RonBurgundy161]

Go on Tito!

[Ronaldo7Messi10cz]

stupid sport !!

[wazzadec16]

@Ronaldo7Messi10cz how?! Its more fair then say football!!

[uppitybeersnob]

@Ronaldo7Messi10cz You have to be kidding.

[county582]

Dnt think he was fully intending to get his eye in fairness

[Bsure12345]

What a joke the irb will be punishing players for tackling to hard next.

[7dayspking]

@Bsure12345 you fucking ass hole you are not to put you fucking hands in some1s eyes ok this is union huge fucking hits fair play thats the way rugby is suposed to be this isnt fucking league were they try to hit but are to small and when they fail go over and start with fucking foul play because they failed in this game you ar enot to put your hands in somes1s eyes as it has always been

[Bsure12345]

@7dayspking Awh bless your cotton socks, acting all big with bad language.

The ban is a joke.

[7dayspking]

@Bsure12345 i agree thr ban was a joke but if i get to thius fucking klevel i dont want some cunts fingers in my eyes either hahaha

[mutzigmorzine]

@Bsure12345 The ban is the minimum punishment handed out for 'contact with the eye area'. So it's not to long, and do you contests the fact he made contact 'with the eye area'?

Bans fair, get over it. Oh and enjoyed playing you in the HC, you have some decent supporters.
