       I'm not sure. Someone sent me a screenshot of the allegation on
       Whatsapp, but I've deleted it now. I think at the time the ref
       and assistants didnt see anything and so couldn't do anything,
       and maybe they didn't have enough camera angles for a citing.
       Not sure how Goode knows that Ward was intentionally trying to
       break his leg as opposed to just a very reckless tackle. It's a
       bit like when players try to tackle a fly half's standing leg
       when they're kicking - it always looks nasty, but hard to say
       it's a deliberate attempt to break a leg as opposed to just
       roughing them up a bit.
       I was not aware of the incident and allegation until this blew
       up, so no idea if Ward was very much in the wrong, or Goode is
       just holding a grudge over a bad tackle and his suspsicion of
       malicious intent. Either way, given how long ago it was, it
       seems odd to still be so angry about it that he'd go this
       overboard

       For the life of me I cannot see any spitting, just a bloke
       shouting with a bit of saliva in his mouth. Certainly wasn't a
       proper gobbo greeny like you used to get on your new school
       blazer.

       Just a bit of spittle when he called him something beginning
       with P , the tread on his foot was a bit of a cheap shot but not
       intended to hurt , just to wind up - mission accomplished there
       .. that's going on all the time as the forwards irritate each
       other -
       Storm in a teacup , stirred by ex Waspies with agenda 's .. they
       will never accept that and double down on the fact that it was
       spit and a stamp .
       All a bit unsavoury , but in the midst of it on Sat eve I saw
       something on facebook or twitter that made me smile
       Paraphrasing" not sure what the problem is , even if Wardy was
       trying to spit at Youngs I doubt he'd hit him - probably went
       straight over his head or to one side "

       Has the deadline for citings now passed? I assume it has, but am
       surprised that the citing person hasn't even mentioned the
       incident or the tackle on Brown. Sometimes for high profile
       incidents the commissioner comes out and says that someone only
       merited a yellow card, so no ban, but I guess if neither
       incident was worthy of a red (which neither were in my opinion)
       then perhaps no reason to say anything at all.

       A Gloucester player, can’t remember who, has been cited for a
       dangerous tackle. The fact that I can’t remember who shows you
       how much publicity it got as opposed to something that didn’t
       get cited.

       Still can't believe there was no mention of Carr flattening
       Brown with a late, no-arms tackle.

       I was a bit surprised myself and I'm a Wasps fan!

       A bit OT but is anyone admitting to winning the tour of
       Guildford with Dave?

       Is there a handy clip of that because at the time it didn't seem
       like much and, unusually, the gobby Quins fans near us didn't
       seem overly bothered.
