Actually applying the laws.
Whilst ignoring others - the brazen and conspicuous way players are sealing off on their own ball doesn't quite fit.

holy shit Ireland were terrible for that, guys just blatantly laying on the ground, or diving head first over rucks, and Wayne doing fuck all about it.
-
@mariner4life to be fair I thought France were just as bad, but man it was blatant. Guys just slowly lying down on the guys on the ground and then shunting forward a bit oooeerrr
England started off doing it too, but then weirdly seemed to stop once Italy got penalised for it

I'm calling gossip and hearsay being presented as fact for what it is - unsubstantiated bollocksIt’s all over most MSM in the UK now so some substance. My guess is vague promises from WRU, climb down by players , subsequent reneging by WRU and continued rumbling/mess for sometime to come.
BTW I like what you did there leek. Very good.

Whatever the reality, it's quite sad it's come down to this. Needs to bet sorted quickly.

Tell them to fuck off
Happened about 10 years ago too
Richard Webster famously lambasted the players then, saying he and thousands of others would gladly don the jersey for free
-
@MiketheSnow Personally find the whole thing incredibly sad. I am old enough and rugby mad enough to always consider Wales along with South Africa as our best rivals, not necessarily in results etc, but in the countries love of the game. I always generally wherever I am if I having a beer or something, there a Saffa or Welshmen around, I can have a bloody good chat about rugby. Also best mate is Welshmen living in Aus too!!
-
The most telling thing about this whole debacle is Gatland is the only professional
He stated that in NZ this would be hammered out in 24 hrs
He then offered up a suggestion for both parties to get in a room and hammer it out in 48-72 hrs (Wales is slower on the uptake)
That takes us to Wednesday
Team is named on Thursday
No resolution, then Gatland will fulfill his professional obligation and pick the best available 23, even if that's the U20 players
There is NO way this match is not being played
And if that's a double negative, mine's a whiskey

When a player is selected for the British & Irish Lions tour, it's generally given that they are a Test starter for their home nation.

Shocking
Should get months for that

It's certainly fucked his England aspirations. Off to France next season I'll wager.
