That's my point. If they want him to sit out 3 fixtures, then adjust the terms accordingly. This "it's 3 weeks, but 3 weeks of fixtures" bullshit is just that - bullshit, and it can fuck right off. It's like with the SBW ban from a couple of years ago: "4 weeks," and then when they realised there was an All Blacks fixture he'd be available for, "Nooooo, not like that!" Fuck off, like.

To be fair, the outcry last time was because you managed to claim a glorified opposed training run as an actual match and got away with it.

So? Weeks is weeks. If they meant something different, then be clear about it.

I think you're misremembering that one (or we're thinking of different occasions from the many times when the ABs have tried to play the system). That one was for "X games" and the uproar was your lot trying to claim that a training run counted. Granted, you got away with it, so fair play, but still cheeky as f*ck.

It was a 4 week ban after an early guilty plea. Or it was reported as such. It's ridiculous that the judiciary can then turn around and try to redefine what a "week" is. Last I checked, it's a 7-day period, regardless of whether or not there are any games on.

I had in mind though whether there are any games on is specifically meaningful when setting a ban, is that wrong?

I believe it's 4 match-weeks.

Match-week? So if there is a game on Sunday and another on the following Friday, does that count as one ban served or two?
It's all so confusing. What about weak matches, do they count?

Why don't they just set a date?! (I assume for some form of consistency shite, but it's so inconsistent, just get it over with)
“This is a level 5 ban, adjusted to level 4 for good behaviour in the hearing, as such, you're banned until the 3rd of November”

Because it led to some people serving their bans almost entirely during the off season
