Junior Bok banned for 'sexually crude' comment aimed at England opponent's mother

@bovidae said in Junior Bok banned for 'sexually crude' comment aimed at England opponent's mother:

I hope WR was thorough and viewed all camera angles.

They did (3 different video files) and also listened to the referee's microphone audio.

Well thank god that was the limit. I was thinking they might have summoned the Mum to the boardroom. An hour later they emerged saying “Six weeks. It was clearly malicious as she looks completely different in that situation”.

I am still struggling to believe this is real? Fucking 6 weeks?

6

SIX

WEEKS!!!!

For a bit of abuse. And not even bad abuse. Like, generic, mum-joke abuse. It wasn't even that good, and could have easily been countered in a way that would have made the saffer look like a cock in front of his mates.

6 fucking weeks.

Imagine what the Mariner 2nd rower would have got when he told that idiot from port Douglas "the best part of you ran down your mum's leg". Even the fucking ref laughed.

Six weeks is excessive, I’d have given him a week, tops. But, I can see where these are “juniors” and World Rugby wants to set an example - there’s always been sledging but they don’t want this in the sport, they don’t want to see it emulated by schoolboy players knowing there’ll only be a week suspension and they want to stamp it out, and if it is an example and it sends a message to schoolboys that this won’t be tolerated, I won’t be too disappointed. My grandparents stood on the sidelines in cold rain on Saturday mornings and afternoons to watch games I played in, and if they’d even seen that sort of garbage during one of my games they would never have come back. World Rugby wants to get out in front of it and send a message. I’m not one for political correctness, but this doesn’t unduly upset me.

I can't believe he got six weeks. Did anyone who assaulted the GOAT ever get that? How many weeks for calling someone a fat fluffybunny or ugly?

Maybe it's just my sense of humour, but I find that shit hilarious. If he'd said that to me I would have pissed myself. Ultimately it's a farking tough game where you're beating the living shit out of each other for 80 minutes. Niggle and sledging will be involved. Maybe a talking to after the game would be ok, but a six week suspension? How utterly ridiculous.

Six weeks is probably too long - but lets leave the wankerish sledging in cricket.

Exactly. He left himself wide open for a retort. For example.

"Is that how your mother does it?"
"That's impossible, you don't have a cock."
"As if any woman would suck the cock of a fat, inbred looking fluffybunny like you."
"

Maybe the protest came because they were so ashamed that not a single one of them could offer a decent comeback.
