    Well I'm glad to see that Johnny is being the bigger man and not stooping to Reiko's level and instead of keeping his gripes man to man and leaving them on the field has published them in a book so he can whinge and moan to the absolute maximum amount of people he possibly can.

    Such class...

    Exactly. You’d have a bit more respect if he tried to glass him at the pub later that night

    no dickheads policy

    It was always about internal standards, not being nice to the opposition. For example Coles & Retallick

    And it's out of date, no coach has said that for years.

    To be fair Jonny Sexton, he never lost a RWC Semi Final or Final.

    And yet, Rieko still walked up and shook his hand.

    What dickheads.

    @gt12 I thought that's when he was saying it.

    Can't see anything of Rieko saying "Get back ten metres" there

    And if it was said, it was in jest, he's just walking up to shake his hand.

    If there were words said by Rieko, I assume they were said in the instant of the call (check the very last few seconds where Rieko satrts shouting as the penalty is called).

    @Bones

    As shown here, Just-a-shit-O'Gara is spouting off at Rieko (7 minute mark) about a minute after the call (5:45 minute mark)

    Seems strange for Rieko to be saying back ten after the whistle has been blown.

    This looks to me like Sexton said something objectionable to Rieko before Rieko shoots back with something - presumably the barb about missing his flight home - that Sexton then takes serious offence to.

    As expected the Irish (at least the Leinster fans) are up in arms. The Irish like to think of themselves as the custodians of fair play etc. Such hypocrites!

    Totally the opposite of my experience so far.

    The Irish like to think themselves the custodians of cheating and skullduggery …?

    Australian cricket fans are generally OK once their team gets past the quarter-finals

    Fans whinging about other fans. It's like a toned down version of soccer.

    I’m not prepared to read Sexton’s book because I don’t really take to the guy and also it is likely to be a complete whinge-fest. However, unlikely to surpass the amount of whinging on this thread..

    Huh go figure, I hadn't noticed a heck of a lot of whinging. Just delicious slaying.
