TBF (again) I do sympathise with the spirit of your post ie 'surprise surprise' if a clampdown hits England first or hardest.

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

I reckon the 2 Samoans that should have had reds against Russia might be the first to be hit very hard. ( pun intended)

3 match ban was lenient. It was also handed out before world rugbys statement this morning .
Therefore i think the 2 Samoans may be hit hardest first.
The refereeing and disciplinary sanctions are 2 sides of the same coin.

Well, A red card & deservedly so, I worry about Piers Francis tho after his very similar tackle in the 1st min. I agree the 2 Samoans will prob be cited as I think Francis will, will be interesting to see what the outcome will be.

Easy win for England today, but, why oh why did they gift the USA a cheap try? 10 days off then the Argies.

As Tonto said to the Lone Ranger after he suggested attacking 200 red indians 'what do you mean we, kemosabe?'

'Lies to the masses as are like fly's to mollasses...they want more and more and more'

At least they will learn not to be dicks against the USA rather than a top side.

Clear example of what all other nations call "English Arrogance". A little bit can be good, too much can be stupid.
