Was Ferris not in trouble a few seasons back for gouging or something similar?
Pots and kettles...............

I don't think so, though he did get into trouble with the law for some violence.
He is usually the target of stamps, gouges, etc. It's very odd - he obviously upsets people.

You are right. Having checked he was the target of an alleged eye gouging from a couple of French players.
Quote:Jammy Git
Hmm. Tough one.
On one hand we do have a player or two with reputations of unsavoury behaviour.
On the other hand, Ferris seems to go looking for this stuff.
Quote:Oldoneeye
there was nothing alleged about it. He was gouged a few times, and dupuy and attoub both were banned. Attoub got over a year's ban. There's this thing caled google lads- its really really easy to use. It took 6 post for you to even correct each other, a wealth of information literally at your finger tips, and there's five of you bizarrely ruminating on the 'possible' past gouging incident. Berks.
Someone above there also said he 'obviously upsets people'....what an irrelevant thing to say and imply that he deserves to be bitten possibly....
Ferris is the hardest hitting 6 in world rugby, thats why oppositions dont like him. He was as good as the welsh mutants for player of the tournament. I look forward to seeing who is accused, because theres one man in that england team that needs no introduction as a man who gets biting filty. Looking forward to the inquiry,

Uh-huh. Strange that the other hard-hitting 6s don't get as much attention. And given that Ferris was pretty anonymous during the England game I doubt it was the sheer force of his raw talent that provoked it...

look im not gonna get into a subjective debate on a layers abilities, but what i will say is, if you dont rate him as one of the best players in Europe right now then you really haven't a clue abotu the game of rugby.
And Dan Carter would have had a hell of a time standing out playing for Ireland last saturday. No scrum in the rain= case closed. Using that as your only examle further shows you probably havent a clue. But hey, you stay in your Quins prism, and look forward to your likely beating in the semis....and for 100% certain in the final should you be lucky enough to progress. No league for you this year, no chance.

That's a pathetic post.
1) I mentioned the England game as an example because it's the game where the incident occurred. Trying to take a player out of the game when he's already having little effect isn't much of a plan.
2) I said nothing about not rating him. I think you need to stop going overboard about him. There's plenty of excellent players in world rugby who don't attract anywhere near as much attention. Some of them - like Jerome Kaino or Juan Smith - are better players.
Basically your argument boils down to "OMG FERRIS IS THE BEST".

i really really love the insight i'm getting into the Quins fans right now. Great stuff all, bravo.

Precedent?
When Danny Grewcock was in New Zealand in 2005 with the Lions, he was banned for two months for biting Keven Mealamu's finger, which had somehow found its way into Grewcock's mouth. The suggestion that Mealamu had been in the process of hooking Grewcock's mouth was not proven (natch, him being an All Black' a fine Christian gentleman and it was in New Zealand), but the length of suspension given to Grewcock was way below that usually given to a player found guilty of biting.

Disagree BB - he's been a good boy for over 5 years.

He's guilty and given 8 weeks.
Available to tour though...

Someone made a point on another forum that even if Ferris was guilty of putting his finger in Hartley's mouth, DH would have to get a ban as there's no way any authorities could be seen to condone biting under any circumstances.

I'm a little surprised that such an argument is ... a surprise. It's retaliation. If he had been punched, and then punched back, he would get a ban and nobody would question it.

The difference is that biting fingers that are ripping at the tissue of your mouth would be done to stop the damage being caused - not retaliating to it.

the citing report in full is here Ferris seems to have a vivid imagination about the so called evidence which is even at odds with the Irish medic's opinion
