His club were  vindictively penalised according to Jones in The Times. And yet they wonder why fans cannot let it go.
Nigel Owens thinks everyone should lay off Farrell, after he has written about how it was a clear red and should have been a ban, of course.

 As Skippy says, you are only remorseful if you do not repeat EVER the offence.  Ever.  Ergo, Fazlet cannot be deemed to be even remotely  remorseful.

.... when I see that and read something like this on the Beeb:

Quote
Scrum-half Danny Care says England have been working on their tackle technique every day as they look to improve their discipline for the upcoming World Cup.

A pathetic comment that fools no one but not as bad as Chris Jones on the BBC Rugby Union Weekly pod trying to create a groundswell of opinion to get the head contact red card protocol ammended because two Sarascen players can't tackle properly.

Just about sums up everything that is wrong with professional rugby in England today. If players cannot tackle according to the laws of the game, then should not be playing. End of.
