Sam Underhill, le troisième ligne anglais de Bath, a été suspendu quatre semaines pour un plaquage dangereux réalisé lors de la finale de Challenge Cup remportée contre Lyon, a indiqué l’organisateur de la compétition.

A la 26e minute de la finale remportée par Bath (37-12), Underhill avait violemment percuté la tête de l’arrière géorgien de Lyon, Davit Niniashvili, mais n’avait été sanctionné que d’un carton jaune, une décision critiquée par l’entraîneur de Lyon, Karim Ghezal, pour qui le geste méritait un carton rouge.

La commission de discipline indépendante a confirmé que ce geste valait bien un rouge, et a retenu un degré moyen de danger, équivalent à un point d’entrée de six semaines de suspension. La sanction a été réduite en raison des remords du joueurs, mais conservée à quatre semaines au vu de ses antécédents disciplinaires.

Bath étant assuré d’occuper la première place du championnat anglais, Underhill ne pourra pas jouer la 18e et dernière journée de Premiership et sera privé de demi-finale et d’une éventuelle finale.

Springboks' dominance of the world rankings comes under increased threat

There is that yes, but to grow the game, you can't leave those teams down and out. In any sport, if a team loses, no one will be interested and no new talent will join the game. What is the aim? To grow the sport. Will any sport grow if you leave it unattended? What incentive is there for players and countries to play rugby? To spend money on rugby to grow the sport in your country? Especially if you never can compete against the top teams, not even the top 50 teams? There is no money for the players to play the sport as any other job will provide food, but rugby won't. Those players will stay amateur because they have to work a day job, play for their club and then their countries too, which don't pay much as the sport is not big enough. Those athletes leave sport or go to another sport. Chuck them out, dismiss them, give them no crumbs. Yeah, that's a way to grow any sport isn't it? By ignoring them, you think rugby will grow in those countries? They can't afford proper rugby fields, never mind to pay players to be professional athletes. Why would they encourage a sport that is costly to maintain with no incentive? Who runs a business at a loss? Why even bother to try and grow the game is smaller countries? Especially with that attitude of amateur players? Ever stop to think why they are so average? Why they are still amateur? Unlike the bigger nations, they can't afford to pay professional salaries. Those athletes will always stay amateur because they can't afford to make rugby their daily lives. They have to work to survive. They can't improve themselves on a rigorous training schedule like the top stars. The stars have one job. Rugby. They have 2 to 3 jobs, club rugby, national rugby and then their daily grind jobs, all to survive. Your thinking is wrong about this. It isn't enough to just show someone the sport. That isn't growth. It's lazy thinking.
