Nelly:
Do you have a friend on all the disciplinary panels?
However, I am still not sure how to interpret this sentence:
"I am not sure ceded matches are not actual matches. I think they are. Only postponed matches are not actual matches."
I know I am Welsh so may be a little slow in comprehension.
It will depend on how matches are interpreted.
For me, I think as Nelly is stating, a match that is ceded by Sale, would still be a match (as points would be awarded). However if a match was postponed then that match wouldn't have happened yet so therefore would not count against a player who is banned.
Therefore if Jacob got a 2 match ban, then 1 week off for the course, and the Sale match was ceded, then the ban would have zero effect to Wasps.
