What do you mean.... 

"rather ill-advisedly posted on YouTube by a delighted Bristol fan"??

The player doing the punching deserves to be shown for the twat he is.

What sort of Bath supporter felt they had to report it? Probably someone who's never played.

Was a BRISTOL fan..... anyway, rugby is or maybe was a good game until thugs like this one got loose in it, good for whoever posted it and better that the RFU actually bothered to sanction the player. I wonder what would have happened if it had been a 'high profile' player.....??
