The Ireland prop Cian Healy

If I had my way, Ireland prop Cian Healy would be banned from playing rugby for his lifetime.
There can be no justification for doing what he did.

Not sure that I agree with a life ban for one heated moment of violent behaviour but if the individual does it a second or third time then yes. I think the game of football would be so much better off if it had this post-match punishment for cheating, might stop some of the players being so quick to fling themselves to the floor… but that is another thread. I have no Doubt that Mr Healy will be found guilty, it was clear as day on the telly.

I am in no way supporting Cian Healy because I think anything like that is unacceptable but then he has also been victim of stamping as well ...he was stamped on the face..also deliberate.

I think they you should have match bans and BIG fines and then if it's repeated...well that's a different story.

I agree,but as SS said,for a second offence of the same.That type of thing deserves to be got rid of I dont care who the player is.Saying that,what happened to the All Black player that upended O,Driscoll that time,I forget now.He deserved a life ban.
We could go on all day about this,eg.what about Wales playing with two balls two years ago that cost Ireland the Triple Crown,not in the same vein I know but still cheating.Healy should be banned.
