this shit honestly reads like fucking satire doesn't it?
when they were writing these down, at what point did they sit back, laugh, and say "this is so fucking ridiculous, there's no way anyone is going to make these actual regulations"
What was the source for that, @Machpants - as I'm watching the "highlights" of the games - and there doesn't seem to be anybody avoiding the traditional "cuddles and kisses" after tries. So - I'm wondering if it really was satire from somewhere.
Of course - it being Premiership - it's not a large sample size. (insert whatever emoticon signifies wink/troll. Gloucester vs 14-men resulted in plenty of cuddles)Edit: I did find all the news articles about the regulations... but no official source, other than a few places citing some elusive "Elite Sporting Guidance"... and what I gather is Steve Diamond perhaps giving an interview where he described some of the contents of a "72-page set of regulations" they've been given. I do wonder if he was taking the piss a little, and it just got quoted/misunderstood, and as modern-media works nowadays - the original interviewer's take on it has just been copy-pasted into all major newspapers. As there seemed to be zero evidence of players avoiding post-try celebrations.
Watched the three matches this weekend.
Should all be fined for not social distancing.
Up the jumper. Boring as bat shit.
As I said - I just watched the "highlights" - but they were the RugbyPass "Condensed Version" highlights - around 12 minutes of "action" for each game. When you watch the first 3 minutes, and have just seen a "crash and go" without any result or context, then a penalty down the other end, then another movement going nowhere... one quickly figures it's not worth watching the entire match.

I was thinking about reffing if the hammy keeps playing up but fuck that.

Hmmm it could work Honey. Its 80 minutes of systematic targeted abuse rather than coming on here and ... oh. Never mind.

It will be interesting - to say the least - to see how the European competitions will fare under the current Covid-19 conditions, with a resurgence of infections in Europe. A player of Toulouse has tested positive and the friendly against Montpellier has been cancelled.

So just shorter periods of systematic targeted abuse?

"highlights"

Notice how less huge bloke brought down Nadolo?
-
@Bones I watched a fair bit of the recent games and that was a poor selection of highlights. There was a lot more that was substantially better.

Yeah it was ridiculous. How was Hoohaa running 5m to flop over the line a top moment?
-
Hill is a unit, looks like one to keep an eye on.
-
@Bones Yeah he's grown into his height now and being mentioned a lot in regard to England. A distinct possibility with Lawes and Launchbury getting on a bit and Kruis getting his pension in Japan

@MiketheSnow what the fuck was he trying to do! Jesus.

Shit technique and a bad attitude will catch up with you eventually

Absolute filth from Owen Farrell and far from his first offence.

@MiketheSnow said in NH club rugby:
Finally
'The moment he'd done it, acknowledging the mistake he made'
Did he fuck.
Pulled a Hollywood as if he was hurt.
Dirty c**t finally pulled up on it.
He has got away with it for so long by pulling a Hollywood straight after as well.
Finally gets his comeuppance. Just wish it was earlier and in a more important game. -
Headline bears little relation to the article but much will depend on the starting point.
Have to laugh at the support from a pro-wrestler with a signature clothesline move.
Don't get the so called mitigations that 'he didn't mean it'. The guy is deliberately reckless with his tackling. He knows it will go wrong sometimes and the consequences are worn by the poor bloke he smashes.
It's like saying that the recidivist drink driver didn't mean to cause an accident. -
And i thought Chad Townsend's send off on Friday night was going to be the dumbest tackle i saw all weekend
-
what?!
Assessed as 10 weeks, sorry, matches. Down to 5
Look at this for the most piss weak thing you will read all week
“Testimonials provided by Mark McCall, Eddie Jones and the founders of a charity with which the player works very closely were of the highest quality.
"The Panel concluded that applying the off-field mitigating factors, notwithstanding his suspension four-and-a-half years ago, the player was entitled to a reduction from 10 matches to five meaningful matches under RFU regulation 19.11.11. The player is free to play again on October 5.”
hilarious.

Pretty much as predicted.
Top end ban with a 50% reduction as he doesn't have a history of red cards.

Because the refs were useless and didn't card him.
Certainly has a history of high shots and shoulder charges. One of the unpunished ones even went one to be the WR video for 'this is not legal' -

He's never even had a yellow or citing before. Therefore squeeky clean record, 5 weeks is what he was always going to get
-
@Machpants eh? Doesn't the quote say he was suspended just over 4 years ago?
Absolutely gobsmacked that testimonials have fucken anything to do with a hearing for a high tackle in a rugby match. What a load of shit. A charity!

And where is the equivalencies of judgement when someone can pull out the big name testimonials because of their enhanced position.
A young unknown doesn’t get that advantage -
He does now.
On the Hartley Path.

It'll be interesting to see if he alters his "methods". Now that he's actually been punished he might think he's not going to get away with it as much.

Cut from the same cloth. A dirty one.

@MiketheSnow well yeah but Hartley is from Rotorua.

when your club coach and your national coach tell you it's all good, then why change?
And his strike rate of shithousery to suspension is not bad.

@taniwharugby Justice for Owen!
