Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "I can see the argument that that advantages future opponents not the "victims", but right or wrong that is (or was) our current system. '"
I agree that there needs to be consistency, but I'll disagree that future opponents are "advantaged"... they still have to play 17-on-17, whereas we would have been down to 16-on-17 (assuming no-one else was injured and out of the match at that point). Alright you might not have your first choice available through suspension, but unless you've got several other players suspended or injured, you might not even notice their absence, especially against bottom-end teams.
No offence intended on that last remark.
