I was expecting 12-15 weeks, because although it seems Alexis only ended up with a dead leg, you can't go flying in like that. The intent was certainly there, and it was just a moment of sheer, reckless madness. I think he was lucky to get only 6 weeks, presumably because he accepted his guilt straight away.

I think 6 weeks is the minimum he should have got. At least he realised straight away what he had done was ridiculously stupid. In terms of Irelands hopes I don't think it will weaken their team very much at all and still expect them to make us look very average if we play like we did against Italy.

It was a very reckless kick and who knows what he was thinking? Good news for the English though with Kearney probably out as well. This is no less than he deserves really.
