Simmons at least owes Nyanga an apology. The tackle was clearly deliberate, as you said, it happens, heat of the moment, frustration, but it was dangerous and completely against the spirit of the game. There is no softness about it, it is against the law, period.
Warburton apologised to Clerc for his semi-final red card offense, Simmons should do the same.
I was in the stadium, and there was no replay at all, it's an habit at Stade de France, they have huge screens but they only use them for advertising... I actually didn't realize it was so brutal until I came home and watched the highlights, so can't blame Owens on that, it happens. Simmons got lucky on the moment, but he's out of the tour for sure, not that he cares much since the season is over in the South anyway.
Biarritz #7 is a disgrace. The man punches Agen's player on the ground, and then he pretends to have been hit and falls Ronaldo-like...
That kind of behavior deserves no more than a big stamping between the legs, where his man parts once were.

Why do the commentators always say NalaNga ? It is written Nalaga, I don't get where that second "n" comes from

Jean-Pierre Perez loses the plot against Montpellier
Even if he wasn't that much late, the complete lack of even trying to make it look like a wrapped arm tackle deserves the yellow by itself.
