I’m eagerly awaiting the disciplinary report to see what evidence was presented.

The first occasion the insult was heard by both the ref and the opposing player who both presented as very credible witnesses.
JM’s defence was much less credible.

What evidence is there for this second offence?

Unless there is something that comes out in the report. It's Charnley's word against Maguires word.

There will have to be more to it. Although it's only a civil process, the evidence would have to show a 'more likely than not' outcome to warrant a ban. A scenario of one word against another (both uncorroborated) would not meet that threshold.

Mo posted way back in this thread that the words were picked up by a pitch-side microphone. That would be pretty compelling. The minutes will have to be carefully edited to protect a minor.

There was pitch side microphones at a non televised rugby match. When did rhat become a thing because sky bbc and Channel 4 supply the microohon3s for TV purposes.

Every match has cameras and microphones there. How else do you think there are highlights of every game ?

Single camera set up on the gantry with the Microphone on that camera. Nothing like the production of a televised game.

Another antipodean signing that turned out to be a disaster, and we cannot say we weren't warned in this case.

He makes Greg Inglis seem like a good signing
