Stupid thing for him to do, especially so close to the Six Nations campaign. However clearly foul play, so I would imagine a ban of between 6 and 10 weeks, something tells me he won't be taking part in this years competition!
Started off as a good strong tackle but due to the fact that AG landed on his head/neck (agreed, mostly due to the secondary tackler [no.2]) and that TF could have gone down with him to prevent AG landing in such a way I expect it to be a ban. Probably around 2/3 weeks as there was no malice.

As a referee myself the new 5 seconds at rucks law states that when the ruck is formed the referee calls 'ruck' as normal, then when the ball is available at the base the referee calls 'use it' and from that call the attacking team has 5 seconds to do so. »
