Realistically only 1 week as he'll go to tackle school.
He'll be back for BG

Sometimes they don't get cited. Like Manu's shoulder to Tommy's
head a couple of weeks back.

Again, that's just your opinion that it deserved a red. It
doesn't mean it was and isn't evidence of things not being
cited.

There was no actual head contact when Beard got tackled. Not a
red, not a citing.
Tuilagi absolutely should've been cited and banned, it was
comparable to but worse than what Lewies did.

It wasn't comparable. Allan was in the air and got nudged so he
fell out of control. It was a fairly sudden change of position.
The bloke Steph hit just fell over a bit but he was always
there.

It was comparable.
Steph went for a cleanout on a guy who was falling to the floor
and rolling to the side. His technique was dangerous and he hit
him straight in the head with his shoulder.
Tuilagi went for a huge flying hit with a big run-up on a guy
who was falling to the floor. His technique was dangerous and he
hit him straight in the head with his shoulder, at great pace,
causing real damage.
Allan being nudged in the air can't be an excuse for Tuilagi,
because, well, he wasn't hit in the air by Tuilagi. He was hit
by Tuilagi after he started stumbling, by someone who was so
desperate to smash him into next week that he was out of control
and unable to react to a not entirely unexpected change in
circumstances of Allan stumbling to the floor. Tuilagi ended up
cannonballing into him with his arm tucked and clenched. It was
not a case of a legal tackle gone awry - it was a flying
shoulder charge to the jaw of a vulnerable opponent that caused
great harm.
It's absurd that he got away with it.

The art of exaggeration hasn't deserted you. 😁
