Vickery out for 2 and Emerick 5 match’s
Phil Vickery has been suspended for 2 match’s and will miss the Springboks and Samoa games. Interesting to note that his target Paul Emerick the USA player has been banned for 5 weeks for a spear tackle on Olly Barkley. Both players have 48 hours in which to appeal against the decisions. We also wait to see what will happen to Schalk Burger of South Africa who was cited following the Samoa match.

true the changes make the game look like golf or tennis where thereisnt body contact. Rugby is a physical game and it should remain thatway
