2 bans from the Bedford v Doncaster game from today. Tuilagi leads the article and gets a 2 match ban. But I guess his name makes the headline.

And Ben Murphy got a 3 match ban for an incident in the same game.

Neither incident got any reaction from the refereeing team on the field, so I guess must have been referred afterwards.. I don't really recall the teams squaring up to each other much during the game, so I guess not a lot was made of either incident on the pitch.

	Yes, a strange one, but if they both do the World Rugby Coaching Intervention Programme (CIP) they will be reduced by 1 game. The crowd also didn’t seem to react either. I think I recall (going down the slope) the Tuilagi one but even the report said he wrapped with one arm, which is more than a lot of ruck players diving in off their feet, which they get away with. Fred has been good for Blues this season adding more physicality and power to the pack, as we have been short of a 2nd big ball carrier at 6/8 for a while. Edited by The Blues - 26 Oct 2024 at 23:35
