Now that I have given the tripping incident a little more thought, here is what I think is the logic conclusion based upon the facts as we know them.
Seventeen points scored whilst a player was in the sin bin is absolutely unheard of in international rugby. It is the most points any national team has ever given up I am lead to believe.
Therefore that would mean that Alun Jones on the pitch is worth at least 17 points.
Those are the facts.
That says that Wales must select Alun W. Jones as he is too important not to select.
If there is some sort of tribunal. England will naturally vote that he go unpunished as England have already beaten Wales and Jones being worth 17 points only enhances the chance thaqt Wales with Jones will be given a better chance against France or Ireland.
It also means that Wales knows that they can't possibly make up 17 points in a game without Jones.
Hence Jones will go unpunished and selected because the 6N is about winning and Wales need him in they are to endeavor to beat either France or Ireland.
Now whatever tribunal could punish him for one game and that is the Scotland match, which would be a match that Wales could easily win without Jones.
It would look good to Wales, good to England, good to the world, good to the sport and bad for Ireland and France.
France and Ireland could go the extra mile and just have him killed and be done with it.
