My bad

Didn't Esders get off a one game ban recently too? Fortunately I was sitting in an armchair when I heard the news otherwise I think I'd have fallen onto the floor in shock at something like that going in Quins' favour.

I can empathise with your rhetorical question though. I'm sure I'm not the only one who still remembers Martin Aspinwall's horrific martial arts style challenge on Jon Wells at Griffin Park (something resembling a king fu kick to the midriff with both players running at speed) and is still incredulous that he was never banned for it. (I think the match ref put him on report for it.) That was one of the most dangerous and irresponsible fouls I've sen in any sport - if you don't get punished for that you can probably get away with anything.
