Thomson, Simmons cited
12 Nov 2012
All Blacks flanker Adam Thomson has been cited for stamping while Wallabies lock Rob Simmons is also in trouble for his tip-tackle on Frenchman Yannick Nyanga.
Thomson was cited for stamping or trampling on the head of Scotland flank Alasdair Strokosch in Sunday’s Test at Murrayfield. Thomson was yellow carded for the offence, but is still expected to fetch a hefty ban.
Simmons has been called to task for a dangerous tip-tackle on Nyanga in the second half of the Wallabies’ clash against France on Saturday.
Hearings for both players will take place in London on Wednesday.

These dragons won’t be playing the Welsh Dragons

Will be interesting to see if sentences are fair in comparison to if they were Boks doing this – with Mourie and Eales and those types in charge, I doubt it.

@J.B. Cowper-2: What would you say is fair?
Worse than Etzebeth, who got 1 game? Yes.
Worse than Greyling, who got 1 game? Not so sure. The intent and result were less malicious. But it was foot-to-head so I’d be happy with 2-3 games.
12 Nov 2012, 22:50 pm
Dirty f uks, ban them for a few weeks, blight on the game!
12 Nov 2012, 23:34 pm
@whatever-4:
Strange how you said that Etzebeth was only a tap and greyling…well McCaw deserved it yet a Kiwi and Ozzie are classed dirty and should be banned for weeks?. Two faced much?
Even the french are saying it was not a stomp but careless.
Still i think they should he banned as well for a game,in fact i think Thompson is useless and should never put the black jersey on again.

@Hurricane-5:
Dirty thieving thugs……….don’t need them in the game at all. You put your boot on a guys face and it is called reckless? Yeah right! Hansen again trying to justify it………..just like kevie boy……….” I know Kevin, he would never intentionally headbutt anyone” WTF??
Etsebeth did not even make contact………one eyed maybe?
12 Nov 2012, 23:59 pm
@whatever-6:
Etzebeth did make contact , are you really this childish.
Hansen did not justify it at all, he said that a boot near anyones head is playing with danger….surely you watched the same news programme as me ya dole spounging blouse.

@gonzo-3:
I would say Brad Thorne getting one week for a vicious spear tackle on John Smit that put him out of rugby for three months is a let-off; Bakkies getting two weeks for legitimate hard entree to a ruck is a travesty; long been two sets of rules – the ghosts of Bok domination for decades in world rugby coming back to haunt them? Who knows why – but it ain’t fair, that’s for sure – didn’t see the Thomson attack, but that Wallabie should go down for this like any Bok would.

@J.B. Cowper-8:
lol
Smit played on and recieved the groin strain later in the match.
You cant continue to play with a strain that keeps you out of the game for 3 months.
Of course Thorn did not help but to blame Thorn on an injury that happened after the fact is rather silly.
Bakkies hard entry into a ruck is normally leading with a shoulder,elbow. I have clips of his so called entry into rucks…..you tube is great isnt it.

@Hurricane-7:
The only one on a dole is your air thief mate poppadoos………….would that be the left leaning TV3 or the one eyed TV1 in NZ?
13 Nov 2012, 01:10 am
@Hurricane-9:
Hahahaha, so you you save the youtube clips of Bakkies and then produce them when anyone dares call the AB’s for what they are? Sad fu k
Try saving the clips of Thorn as well and see if his entry into the rucks are any different…………this continuous “we are saints” rant is pathetic
13 Nov 2012, 01:40 am
@whatever-10: I do find it strange that NZ tv has a NZ slant to it.. its immigrants like yourself who fester hatred…
and hang on, I thought i was a security guard, now I’m on the dole? hahaha
isnt recess over now and time to go back to class?
13 Nov 2012, 02:40 am

@poppa69-12:
Hey it is good if they can find you a few security gigs, keeps you off the turps and out of the bins……..
13 Nov 2012, 04:09 am
Tell me poppadoos, when someone gives you a freebee ticket to go watch the AB’s v the Ozzies in Sydney, I guess you dress in yellow and support your new country?
13 Nov 2012, 04:13 am
@whatever-15: tell me dckhead, have I ever run down australia? no, I appreciate the good living it enables me to have.. unlike yourself with your continual disgust at a country that gives you many freedoms
you certainly stink up the place, why did you ever move to a country you hate so much?
13 Nov 2012, 04:37 am
@whatever-15:
What if i gave you two free tickets to Boks vs ABs at Eden park next year, would you dress in black?
13 Nov 2012, 05:53 am
@poppa69-16:
I’ve said this a 1000 times but you never listen do you doos……………I have never run down NZ either……………had a go at arrogant one eyed dipshits like you yes, thats all…………try and let that sink in!!
13 Nov 2012, 05:54 am
@Hurricane-17:
and you my little poodle, always sniffing poppadoos’s bum……………..my point exactly!
13 Nov 2012, 05:57 am
So, I see you must have got another security job with internet access. Nice.
Make sure you check all windows and doors before you troll the little boy sites when everyone has gone home……..
13 Nov 2012, 07:03 am
@whatever-20: Just remeber they are men of integrity,that is why it is only reckless.Integrity i tell you.They will all tell you.

Like NZ would get filthy with the Jocks.
2/3rds of Kiwi’s have Scooti blood. We love those guys.

@cane-31:
oh really, well andy robinson doesn’t seem to feel that way.
glad to see this scumbag kiwi cited though, hope he’s out for a while.
why is the disciplinary process taking so long..?. it’s usually over before the boys hit the showers when the boks are involved.
13 Nov 2012, 08:53 am
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-32:
We got Lawyers Bakkies……………………………………good ones.

@cane-31:
oh and, how rude of you guys to call your cuzzies ‘the cavemen of rugby’
13 Nov 2012, 08:56 am
Thomson was yellow carded for the offence, but is still expected to fetch a hefty ban.
JC.
I’ll bet all my Keo $ that Thomo gets no more than 1 week.
Even Alasdair Strokosch has said it was nothing and no need even for an apology.

you can always tell how big a criminal organisation is by looking at their lawyers.
for some strange reason, they always have the best
13 Nov 2012, 09:23 am
@cane-35: Strokosch is like an abused wife who claims she had it coming and crawls back to her vile husband’s side. That much is clear here.
