Poll: should the Durham rugby club who dressed up as Jimmy Savile have been banned from competition?

Two more stars could be named in Jimmy Savile scandal (PA)

A Durham student rugby club has been banned from competing after players dressed up as Jimmy Savile, victims and police for a wild night out.

The team from St. Cuthbert's, one of the university's most successful college sides, has been barred from taking any further part in the league this season after freshmen players dressed up as young girls, second years as Savile, and third and fourth years as police.

They took to the town for a night of hard drinking, one player reportedly stripping off and others stealing the darts board from a rival college.

Was the league ban a fitting punishment, should it have been worse, or is this an overreaction to typical student antics?
