I'd be happy with bans only counting for club games that take place after an international window. So if a Canada player gets a 6 game ban in the last game of the year, it's not effectively ruling him out of the entire next year of internationals, but it would also stop this kind of bullshit (or NZ arranging a trial game to count as part of a ban).Son of Mathonwy wrote: ↑Tue Mar 04, 2025 10:38 pmClub games should count as half a match for these bans.Sandydragon wrote: ↑Sun Mar 02, 2025 4:43 pmThat’s a particularly bad look.Puja wrote: ↑Sat Mar 01, 2025 11:35 am
Comedic inconsistency, considering Ntmack's ban specifically excluded a French club game, despite the fact that he's not currently part of the French equivalent of the EPS and actually stood at least half a chance of playing, whereas Ringrose's explicitly includes a Leinster game that you'd have to be a blithering idiot to genuinely believe he'd've been released for.

Or ...
A red card ban at test level only applies to test matches. A 3 match ban is a ban from the next 3 test matches, whenever they occur. So eg you could risk your place on the Lions tour if you get banned at the 6N.
