View Full Version : Manu Tuilagi's Punch On Chris Ashton
Did any of you see it? It was even on sky news? I wondered what rugby fans in our community thought of this..
Personally, Manu was in my P.E. group at my school. I'm a Leicester Tigers supporter (That's who he plays for) and Chris Ashton did start it. But no way should Manu have reacted like he did, he deserved a red card and match ban. Ayerza did a similar thing but no where near as bad, and he got a ban, so surely Manu will too.
If you haven't seen the punch, you can see it in the video here. It's quite a punch lol

I seen this on SSN. It's a mega punch in slow motion.
He retaliated negatively which shows he's not a good professional.

I'm not a big rugby fan, more of a football fan as you can see from my sig
But any ways, i thought as the football season is over, i'd go to my very first rugby match, so anyways, I was there when this happened, so it was a cool first game for me, plus it was a semi final aswell.
Thought i'd go as I only live like 5 mins away from the Tigers :)
Hope he don't get banned for the final.

deserved a lengthy ban, should not of retaliated like that, bad example from a professional.

Haha I go watch Tigers all the time. Last game I went to watch was against London Irish
He deserved the five match ban, Ashton didn't deserve that from simply a push. Despite what all my Tiger's fans on fb thought :P Manu wasn't even that good at school. His brother went to JCC too, he was in my assistant manager's year he said the same about him. Wasn't much good :P
Now Manu's like England Squad standard, despite his lack of experience and attitude. When he corrects his attitude he'll probs be in the England Squad since he's already in Saxon's. Martin Johnson went to watch the match, so he won't be too impressed :P
