Well, we could always bring in US style justice and give Hock life for a third roughing up of a ref.

I don't remember all this outrage when Welham headbutted a player and got no ban or fine.

...and this is why the use of internet forums should be licensed. If you did ANY of the things that happen on a Rugby pitch in normal day-to-day life you'd be banged up for some time. Picking someone up and slamming them to the ground happens hundreds of times in a game - you go try doing it outside Tesco on a Saturday afternoon and see how long it is before you're in a 8"x 6" room with bars on the windows and a cell mate called Psycho Steve.

Comparing and governed, profession sport to what happens in the real word is just plain stupid.

He's had nearly 20 years clean record.

When it's all over, i'll be surprised if he ends up with more than 2 games.
