For example: a small slap to the face (of the sort that floored Pape)
that really made me smile: I am imagining it on the referee's RC report
I saw Red #12 give Blue #5 a small slap to the face. I issued a RC and told him to leave the field.

but it is possible to swing a punch and regret it immediately and pull out so you don't connect.
so you intended a punch, and then intended to miss..
or maybe because of it nobody actually throws a punch, except to expect a red card. How strange.
How convenient that it was just enough to allow him to play in the opening match of the Six Nations. I smell a rat at the highest levels of the European game.
Six Weeks is nowhere near enough given his appalling record of thuggery. Only one week added on for his previous form? Really? What a gutless cop-out by the judiciary. Yet another lost opportunity to send a real message that thugs won't be tolerated in the game.

well that's the point I am making, didds - if you know neither the criteria for deciding if its top/middle/bottom nor the recommended sanctions for top/middle/bottom... then, really, you can't have a valid opinion about whether six weeks is the right penalty.
