Not sure how one person can say he is not guilty and the next ban him for 5 weeks.

Hahahaha. Good.

Agreed. Citings should be audited by an independent panel or something. No consistency whatsoever. Had Carter done the same thing, the original citing wouldn't even have taken place.

Not that I like snotty Frans and his attitude.

Funny that Carter never feels the need to play like a dick, though, isn't it?

WTF is this?

So he was acquitted they appealed and now he is suspended?
I thought the hearing is final.

Should never have fight against the will of the might Sanzar. They get what they want regardless of whether you are South African or South African. The only proviso to their witch hunt is if you play for a team from Australia or New Zealand.
 
Oh it's like that hey...

I'll wait till after the match before I laugh.

I picked the Lions for the game, just because of the way they are playing this year, but my head says I should have gone with the Bulls.

I would also lean towards the Lions. But how Bulls played last weekend makes it hard to pick against them :o
