O/T Leicester V Northampton : Sat May 14, 2011 3:53 pm  

Anyone see the pasting Ashton took just before half time ? He did well to stay on his feet.

We don't want Scummy THUGS like Manu Tuilagi playing for England..........!!!!!
What he did to Ashton was disgraceful and how on earth he was not sent off was unbelievable!

Stick to Samoa mate!!!!!

Not seen the incident but it's a big yeeeehhhhhaaa for the Samoan for me, well done that man!!!!
Must we have a thread on the weasel Ashton every week? Follicle to the jumped up nice person

Does anybody know what sparked that punch. I just thought knowing Ashton he probably deserved it.

Re: O/T Leicester V Northampton : Sat May 14, 2011 4:47 pm  

because Tuilagi is a thug and shud not be seen on a rugby pitch for a long time IMO. Tuilagio shudda seen yellow for the high late tackle and shud and opefully will recieve a long ban. That wasn't a fight that was an assault if he'd done that and the street he'd be looking at 6 months inside.

and the TJ who said Ashton threw a punch aswell haha he must of been a southern softy if he thought that push was a punch.

Hilariously, Ashton did nothing to deserve it. Tuilagi poleaxed him off the ball, Ashton squared up to Tuilagi and got proper lamped. Who says Yawnion is boring

You say that as if you're suggesting that tackling someone in the street would not land you in trouble with the police. Comparing a fight (pasting, and I can't say I felt sorry for him) in sport with something 'in the street' is ridiculous.

I just happened to accidentally flick onto it at half time during the FA cup final, enjoyed the incident immensely, then turned it off. The RU commentators should have been delighted that something exciting happened for a change.

you walk onto the pitch expecting to be tackled you don't walk on expect to be assault in that way. If it had been a fight where Ashton had been the 1st to throw a punch he would of deserved a pasting but instead he had been tackle high and late and the push tuilagi only for him to get up and throw 3 punches at him.

Would you enjoy it 'immensely' if Sam Tomkins was on the receiving end????
