'Long ban' predicted after ugly targeting of young fly-half

Jack Walsh was repeatedly singled out for late hits.

A long ban has been predicted after the questionable targeting of Ospreys fly-half Jack Walsh in the United Rugby Championship match against the Dragons over the weekend.

Walsh, who had been playing exceptionally well, was repeatedly hit with late and cheap shots from several Dragons players throughout the game.

Despite the Dragons’ best efforts to take down the young No.10, the Ospreys ultimately emerged victorious with an 18-37 derby win. However, the victory was overshadowed by the ugly conduct of the Dragons players towards Walsh.

Targeting the fly-half in rugby is nothing new but the treatment doled out to Walsh has left a sour taste in many mouths.

Dragons No.8 Ross Moriarty was given a yellow card in the 32nd minute for a late shoulder charge on Walsh. But the worst was yet to come, as centre Sio Tomkinson was red-carded only minutes into the second half for his vicious cheap shot on Walsh.

Commentators have expressed their outrage at the Dragons’ behavior and are calling for strict action to be taken against the players involved. James Hook on Scrum V is predicting that Tomkinson, in particular, is facing a lengthy ban for his actions.

“Discipline, we spoke about it, that should have been a yellow card for Fairbrother, Ross Moriarty got yellow carded for that,” said Hook. “Every one of these was on Jack Walsh. This one, this was a red card. Stone-cold red card.

“He’s come from five, 10 metres Tomkinson and he’s taken his head off. There’s no qualms about that. He’ll probably have a long ban for that as well.”

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
