Billy Vunipola Banned for Three Games (www.theguardian.com)

Entry point of 6 games, reduced to three due to good disciplinary record. I imagine he will take the option of tackling school and have it reduced ti two games.

So I guess misses the opening WC match and back after that.

I’m sure the lawyer they sent in with Billy gave him a good talking to beforehand and said “admit you screwed up, plead guilty”. It isn’t about giving a reasonable decision, it’s about how the system can be gamed by lawyers.

In the heat of a game reason is often hard to find. I find the contrition and acceptance far better than him saying he did nothing wrong after the fact
