    I know many of you are rugby fans- did you see what Tuilagi did to Ashton on Saturday. Dirty Samoan. Anyway he was banned for 5 weeks but I think it should have been more, but it got me thinking, what would have happened if it happened in football? Opinions welcome..

    Hopefully it won't affect his future England chances though. He looks a
    class player.

    Was pretty brutal especially considering it was the 3rd of 3 punches he threw. Although I found it funny how ESPN must have shown it 10-12 times in super slo-mo throughout the rest of their coverage!

    What if when you injure a player (and it was actually a foul) you're banned for as long as he's out injured?

    Causing grievous body harm is a criminal offence and could end up with a prison sentence.

    Think it might be an isolated incident (hopefully), personally I like Chris Ashton we would never have won the 6 nations if it hadn't have been for his tries.

    Imagine Tuilagi vs Tiote. Would be a fight worth watching. I think we all know who would win ;)

    More like an assault, he's just punched him 3 times for the sake of it.

    Nah I reckon he's a good lad. He's MASSIVELY unpopular here in Ireland though! Either way, he took those bats like a man!

    Without Hartley, Wood, Foden(try against France was immense) and Ashton we wouldn't have won, and N'ton wouldn't have ****ed up their title chances. Grrrr stupid internationals.

    He's got a fit girl apparently. A few mates have seen him round Nandos with her.

    Those punches wouldn't have looked out of place in the boxing ring, disgusting behaviour should have been a longer ban in my opinion. Can you remember the Dyer and Bowyer fight against Villa people were screaming from the rooftops for the police to be involved and have them made an example of. Seems because this isn't football it doesn't matter. Can anyone else remember the fight Lewis Moody had year ago on the pitch when playing for Engalnd some vicious punches there aswel!

    I know, I think football is the only sport where club comes before country. Supporting Newcastle we never have this problem.
