Eben Etzebeth's HUGE Ban & More World Cup Draw Chat | Marty's Mailbag
Description
This week’s DSPN mailbag is stacked, and honestly, the game keeps giving us material. We kick off with the Eben Etzebeth eye-gouge saga and the eyebrow-raising drop from an 18-week ban to 12. We’ve all watched the footage. No excuses, no mitigating fairy dust, just a dirty act that should’ve stayed at the top end of the scale.
From there, we dive into the R360 delay and whether “strategic timing” is just a polite way of saying the whole thing’s run out of juice or players. Either way, 2028 suddenly feels very far away.
And yes, the World Cup draw has everyone heated again. Six pools, 24 teams, and somehow the top two sides still collide in the quarterfinals. Throw in the All Blacks conversation around Razor, Richie Mo’unga’s return, and where Beauden Barrett fits, plus your cuts, keeps, and question marks, and it’s a wonderfully chaotic inbox.
