Worst case (best for Sarries) - 4 games halved to 2, i.e. back for Leinster.

• Probable (good for England) - 6 week/game ban reduced to 3.
• Statement (cynical, fine for England) - 6-8 week ban, back for international duty (possibly missing BaBas + Italy), i.e. back by November for Autumn internationals + earlier for training camp.
• Best case (justice in the world -- hurts RFU) - 12+ game/week ban. And pigs in flying formation...

This makes me really proud of the club. Not that they could rush him back for Tigers or they even would be. But I hope that this kind of attitude is what players from other clubs would like the look of if they were wanting to move to us. And also for parents of academy players questioning whether they want them to play.
