That "Old" rating was a fat finger mash accident. Never intended
to rate your post.

It was basically a shoulder charge. It can't go unpunished,
surely!

Wonderful news. Hopefully he will miss most of the 6 nations

Yeah and hard to see him getting away with it. Also got previous
for high tackles, hasn't he?

Worth noting that he's eligible for the new World Rugby "tackle
school" to reduce any suspension by a week (From the Telegraph):
--- Quote ---
> Farrell could potentially reduce his suspension if he opts to
take part in World Rugby's coaching intervention programme,
commonly referred to as "tackle school". Players can potentially
reduce their punishment by a week if they attend the programme,
which revises their tackle technique to avoid future offences.
Farrell is eligible given he has not previously taken part.
>
> The programme was adopted into regulation by World Rugby late
last year following a successful pilot period, with only eight
out of 120 players receiving further red cards after returning
to matches.
>
> Farrell has been banned twice previously in his career for
dangerous tackling, the most recent incident coming in 2020 when
he received a five-week suspension following a tackle which
concussed Charlie Atkinson.
>
> That punishment was reduced from the original entry point of
10 weeks following a number of testimonies by Saracens director
of rugby Mark McCall, then England head coach Eddie Jones and
also a charity who partnered with Farrell. He was also banned
for two weeks back in 2016 for a dangerous tackle on Wasps' Dan
Robson.
>
> The combination of Farrell's previous suspensions may mean
that he is unlikely to receive any substantial mitigation this
time around.
>
> Given that England's game with Scotland falls on February 4, a
four-week suspension (dating from the tackle on Clement) would
rule Farrell out of England's opening Six Nations fixture.

"That punishment was reduced from the original entry point of 10

rugby Mark McCall, then England head coach Eddie Jones and also
a charity who partnered with Farrell."
Why on earth are testimonies from coaches and other partners
considered, for anyone? It's completely irrelevant. When someone
is cited for a high tackle, no-one is calling onto question
their character (or at least, if they are, it's equally
irrelevant). The panel should be solely focussed on the incident
in question, and then on the player's previous disciplinary
record. A player might be a great bloke, do loads for charity, a
role model, coaches kids every weekend, etc, but if they have a
dodgy tackling technique then the rest is irrelevant. Same way
that what Marler does in raising awareness for CALM and similar
causes is irrelevant when it comes to what he does wrong on the
pitch

Stephen Jones excelling again in The Times, apparently the
victimisation of Farrell is just fuelled by jealousy. He even
managed to squeeze in this beauty “The shocking over-punishment
of Saracens, and the naked jealousy of them, given an outlet by
their unwitting infringement of the salary, was bad enough.”
