We've just seen on the Herald website that the Italian captain and No 8 Sergio Parisse has been banned for eight weeks for eye-gouging in the test match last night.
Whilst it's good news that Parisse has received a relatively lengthy ban for a blatant act of foul play, we reckon he's pretty lucky - the usual starting point for this is 12 weeks, but his previous good record saved him. It was a cynical act however; one that has no part in rugby - just ask Richard Loe!
