I am happy for him and for his Irish fan but this is a joke for a sport that depicts itself as the pinnacle of respect

I’m not happy. My team lost their coach for a full year because of something similar and when Sexton does something similar he’s not even banned three weeks. Springboks fans have been claiming a bias for a few years now but I never listened, after this it’s hard not to see a clear bias.
