    The court heard that a conviction would likely see Mafi lose his lucrative contract in Japan.

    Stiff shit.

    Same as the RC I guess. Always a bit of frision after the RWC!

    I see SexCockWomble is Capt, so more of his sour-puss-grumpy-face action on our screens.

    @mariner4life also once your hands are on the ball, it is out (like it used to be) not hands on, roll it back, re-position to make a pass easier, then holding it on the deck for what seems an age, then passing/kicking...

    I expect if the 5 second rule was enforced properly, ref calls ball available, 9 knows he has 5 sec to use it - be it kick or pass, then the is less Faffing about at the back, directing the forwards, moving the ball into a better position and angle

    Just penalise twats standing as pillars with a finger on the 'ruck', don't allow players to join once the ball is available (i.e. creating a 'snake') and once the halfback has touched the ball they can't reposition it.
    All actions should be penalised by strapping tape over the halfback's mouth.

    The halfback rolling the ball back and just waiting is probably my most hated thing about rugby at the moment. TBH, I hadn't seen it before the Lions tour.

    Refs not pretending the ball is still in the ruck after the halfback has rolled it half a metre away would help too.

    Liked for bringing a verb into use. Faffing: To extend the game of rugby longer than 85 minutes by continued inaction at the ruck.

    What's your point? Within the rules, his uncle and father played for different countries, he represented England at under 18 and under 20.

    @Catogrande Wow, defensive much? If you weren't on the other side of the equator, I'd think you got up at the wrong side of the bed this morning ...

    I only mentioned his names because I noticed the young lads name for the first time. That's all.
