Crazy. You can hope that if he had manage to wrap around the neck he would have had the sense to release immediately, but I think he's having a bit of trouble returning to play and bad decisions accompany that.

Well he's certainly not a "dirty" player, but he's stuffed his chances on going on England's (3 Test) Tour of Argentina as he's facing a 2 match ban (reduced from 3).

Wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso will go on tour with England this summer despite being suspended for the two-Test series against Argentina.

The 22-year-old has been banned for three matches - one of which he will be excused when he completes World Rugby's 'tackle school' programme - for a high shot on France A fly-half Antoine Hastoy in an England XV's 26-24 defeat on Saturday.

He will only be available to coach Steve Borthwick for England's match against the United States on 19 July, having to sit out the games against Argentina on the two previous weekends.

A show of faith I imagine.

Borthwick and England certainly want him, he is or "wasa-Welshman" after all He'll be there for the "Training Camp" and to get his fitness levels up and perhaps a selection for the match later on against the US. Can't blame Borthwick for that, but do you expect him to play against the Pumas?

What, you mean in spite of the ban...?

A 2-match ban which neatly covers the 2-test 'tour' of Argentina, leaving him free to play against the USA, if selected...
