Players' union alarmed by disciplinary inconsistencies
The Irish Rugby Union Players Association (IRUPA) has "grown exceedingly frustrated and disappointed with the continued inconsistencies in the application of disciplinary sanctions to players".
The association was reacting after Munster's John Hayes' ban for stamping during the Leinster game was reduced to five weeks while Shane Jennings of Leinster was banned for 12 weeks for eye gouging during their Heineken Cup opener against London Irish last week.
