Rob with all due respect, to comment on something which you have no involvement in and didn’t witness speaks volumes for the qualities you possess, or lack of, should I say. Finally, your argument lacks no credibility. Healy has a history of violence in his game. Take for instance the junior cup game against clongowes when he was sent off for eye gouging. I think it’s the Independent you have a saying ‘before you make up your mind, open it’. Well before you make up your mind on stamping, look at the facts.

Just to point out you are commenting on something you have no involvement in.

If BOD was cited for a stamp, banned for 3 weeks, then picked again, would Leinster be disgracing themselves? Would I be condoning barbarism as you put it?

Is your point that any ban for stamping should be a life ban? Or do you just not like cian Healy?

This man has played hundreds of hours of live rugby on tv for the whole world to see and you claim his violent history by quoting a game played when he was About 15 that no one has footage of?
If healy should be banned for life for a game he played about a decade ago I am going to my local guarda station to hand myself in. My mother told me while in the womb I kicked and punched her repeatly for about 6 months. I guess by your reconing 25 years in mountjoy would be fair punishment for such a violent barbaric crime.

Definitely effected your brain cells!

Leinster are doing nothing wrong, he is not suspended until Sunday so he is free to play rugby for any team until then. What do you suggest Martin? Never playing him again?

As for alleged off field skirmishes, they could not be more irrelevant

Would you be ok if he was eye-gouging!? No? So then why is trying to break someone’s ankle ok!? And Leinster are culpable as well. They’ve tolerated his thuggery off the pitch and know they’re going to do the same on the pitch. Disgraceful…

Lads you really need to calm down. He committed an act of foul play, got cited, got banned. If you disagree with the length of ban or start date of the ban that’s one thing.

But to say he should never play again & Leinster are supporting and encouraging thuggery is ridiculous.

It’s fairly obvious your personal feelings towards the guy are completely obstructing any chance of rational thought. I can only assume you were on this sight calling for John Hayes to never play again after getting a redcard for stamping on healy’s face? Or Quinlan after being found guilty of gouging?

By your logic Munster are also a disgrace (which they are not) and if needs be an example of so called ‘supporting thuggery’ could be given for any team in the world.

I never said you were a Munster fan, I used them as an example.

This alleged mcsorleys incident you keep referring to is irrelevant. This is an article about on pitch behaviour and leinsters ability to choose from eligible players. His disciplinary record prior to today was exemplary.

If your dislike for a player is enough for you not to support Leinster then you shouldn’t return to the RDS

Doing nothing wrong by the letter of the law, but what about the spirit? You must be desensitised to the violence which is suffocating the game at the moment. No wonder you’re condoning this barbarism.

Who’s saying he should never play again Brian??

It was stated earlier mattoid, some posts have removed/taken down.

his ban doesn’t start until Sunday, he can play Saturday
what’s so hard to comprehend about that???

Akin to a convicted Irish armed robber in Mexico being put on a flight back to Ireland and told he’s free to roam around and terrorise the nation. Leinster are essentially giving the thumbs up to barbaric thuggery.

Martin stop being so ridiculously dramatic, his ban doesn’t start till Sunday so Leinster are dead right to play him! It’s the fault of whoever decided that the ban should start on Sunday, obviously to ensure he misses as many 6 nations games as possible!

Brian O se and Martin- I really do despair that there are people like you in the world. Such utter garbage spoken, with either of you obviously not having a clue about the game of rugby or how a judiciary process works and how sanctions are met.

These fools just hate anything Leinster
Same people will spend the night in the claws pub saluting a legend

Imbicile!
