How long should Etzebeth be banned for? (Poll)

[RedViking]

Seems like the duration of his ban is quite fair compared to the others in this list

Depends on the severity. His wasn't sever at all. Should have been a week ban, but considering public opinion and cancel culture they had to tread carefully. Dude will hopefully think twice next time.

“ eye” am happy that this has been resolved, however “eye” do believe he will miss a lot of rugby affecting his long term game.


Aaaayyeeeee

Rescind the red and cut his thumbs off to avoid future temptation.

Remove all eyes.

 

[ghaye]

In your imagination, probably

Is this the same as the imaginary nut-sack tickling that got a red card rescinded?

The hearing has been published. The fictional tiktok investigations are not in it.

Lekker holiday just in time for the international window 2027.

Hmn...he'll be back for the June 2026 Tests already.

 

[thestaggy]

He was lucky.

I don't even know how you could mitigate something like that. ''He was a good boy"?

A player with 141 caps shouldn't have done something like that.

For a poke / thumb in the eye, I think World Rugby should look up the definition of "gouging" ...

Even combat sports have zero tolerance when it comes to contact around the eyes.

And that was no poke.

Still photo's are great aren't they? Can even make a soccer ball hitting the face look like assault with a deadly weapon.

Cool.

Now tell me how an unintentional ball to the face is the same as deliberately driving your finger into someone's eye?

Cool, now show me where I said that?

He argued it was not on purpose.

Then why are you posting irrelevant crap?

Which part is irrelevant again?

Everything you have posted till this point.

Not sure what the still of an accidental football to the face has to do with the still of a deliberate finger in the eye.

I hold the Boks, and specifically their most experienced player, to a much higher standard and won't be blinded by bias. Nothing you post is going to change my position.
