Okay, fine - everyone was a little bitch, especially me.

Having meet Felipe in person several times a "little bitch" is the last thing I would categorize him as. He is pretty tough character and never moaned about things despite being in a pretty rubbish, Bristol, side that we're frequently physically done over. He's also actually a really good guy and he (& Pichot) turned up in the pasty vans serving food after leaving Bristol (as they went bust).

Sadly, Juan Cruz Mallia's anterior cruciate ligament injury means he'll be unavailable for Toulouse for the rest of the season.
Tom Curry may not be off the hook yet. I've not heard if the Argentinian Rugby Union are taking the matter further.

My sympathies to Mallia as that sounds like a horrible injury. Hope he has a swift and successful recovery.

However, there's no hook for TCurry to be on, as it was an incredibly harsh penalty in the first place, considering he had less than half a second to entirely reverse his momentum to avoid contact and there was nothing illegal about the tackle itself, so a citing committee won't even consider it.

Awful freak accident on a rugby pitch, nothing more.

For the avoidance of any doubt, I don't want to fall out over this. If you say he's a good bloke then he's a good bloke and I should stop getting irrational at clickbait headlines.

No worries! Just seemed out of character from my experience of him. He may well have been a bit of twit in this instance!
