Ex ABs who move to the Northern Hemisphere become real dicks about the current ABs. Case in point Fitzy and Zinny.

Thanks for your astonishing insight Kieran. France you say?
-
@antipodean to be fair I said to the boys in my kiwi chat a couple of weeks ago that France are the best team to watch right now and they took the piss out of me.

Suspect the person whose outdated here is Crowley. Does anybody not put France as favourites?
Although having said that, most on here are 40+ now ... It's fair to say that I probably fell into that trap a bit when I was in my early 20's.

Fuck no, I'd been living in the UK dealing with the ABs fucking up every RWC since 87, there is no way I was putting them as anything but an outside chance

@machpants I think the worst was '99 - I remember walking outside into Manners Mall the next day and it was dead, everything seemed grey, it was like Welly had gone back in time ten years to when it was a horrible hole.

A new twist in Spain's qualification.
Spain's place in the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France is in doubt while it is being investigated for fielding an ineligible player.
-
@stargazer Or the player in question wasnt completely honest with the team about there whereabouts? I suspect its more about not doing all their homework though as you say. I feel for the team though if true..ouch
-
@bayimports Sadly, Spain has a long record of issues in this area.

Yeah, if the player lied you'd be devastated. If the Union was administratively incompetent, well you'd be devastated I guess...
Shit all round, but a hard line needs to enabled to prevent these lower tier Unions from taking the piss.
-
Fielding the guy wasn't to gain advantage. He was a second half replacement in walkover games. Bit different to helping win a playoff.
Guessing that the inquiry is to check who knew what and when. Deliberate breach by the union will mean disqualification. Him keeping quiet and them not asking through incompetence may be a smack on the hand.
Massively unfair on the rest of the team if they are kicked out through a genuine error
