I can't believe Dylan Hartley and Tim Payne of England have not been cited??
Both clearly throwing a series of punches. Only one was dealt with by a
penalty - having seen the replay both should have been yellow cards!

Meanwhile Carter gets a week for bumping a midgets chin??

They have long since stopped even pretending to be impartial. not only
that, they've even changed the laws to make their shitty teams better.

2. You're still a know-nothing idiot.

Well, as a teenage Kiwi fanboi, we wouldn't expect you to know what a
world cup win looks like. I'd bet you and Matty tend to pull out the
extension lead in a huff every four years and go for a spot of
therapeutic horizontal folk dancing a deux.

Not at all, it is a lottery tournament. Bogans win lotteries, do they
deserve it? Sometimes.

On the other hand there is consistency, having the winningest record over
everyone. Being number one in the world whilst in a form slump is something
you will never understand.

But as Lord Shiney has often observed, even know-nothing idiots can
sometimes get it right. And, while Boobs's articulation of this
matter is perhaps a tad exaggerated and overblown, the general
sentiments he expresses re citing are in accordance with those of Lord
Shiney.

** Especially when Woodcock got a suspended for a punch the fortnight

They either need to let a bit of fisticuffs go, ( the MUCH preferred
option ), or cite everyone who does it.

The same goes for on the field, let punches go with a warning and penalty,
or it's a straight yellow; not one each way depending on who's the ref this
week.

I'm no expert but I don't think one throws a punch using the elbow.

If you want to make a case for inconsistency it would help if you got your
facts straight:

"In the case of Woodcock, Mr Hobbs said Woodcock accepted that he had made
contact with Mr Smith's neck and shoulder area with his elbow but denied
making contact with Mr Smith's head."

That's fine by me if it gets applied to a consistent standard. To me
the inconsistent standard, as seen by many, many citings, is that
Payne should be cited.

Yeah, the vast majority of punches thrown on the field are girly ones.
It's when some guy is pinned down and somebody else is going for the
full bhoona that you need to start worrying.
I can't understand why Payne wasn't sent off.

The ref indicated that Payne was throwing his forearm into the the AB
not punching. Whilst similar offences have resulted in a card I'm not
sure any have resulted in a citing.

Exactly - I don't have a problem if Payne wasn't cited if it was consistent
with other incidents - the fact that the process is so inconsistent is the
big problem. The fact that the IRB do not seem to have a problem with the
process (and it isn't just at International level) shows what a useless
BOF's they are.

Interesting and inaccurate viewpoint Bobs, and wrong on both counts.

First the IRB is overwhelmingly not British and Irish.
Second the current abomination at the breakdown that has infected the
Trinations, AI and NH club game is at the behest of NZ. The
interpretation of the breakdown has reduced the number of tries scored
and increased kicking for territory - on the basis of it's safer not
to risk a penalty.

Admittedly the English GP suffers more than most because it features
promotion and relegation, thus rewarding a low risk approach, but it
was inspired by NZ, not the NH.

Now let's see, the interpretation at the breakdown is based on IRB
instructions. Paddy is the referee development officer. The
interpretation has made taking the ball into contact and the breakdown
a risky situation, so teams kick more for position. Therefore Paddy is
to blame. I can see how you got there.

The kicking is a decision taken by coaches based on a particular

Can't understand the 'low risk' rugby thing. Surely it's equally true to
say that if you're going to get relegated, or want to win the league
then you'll play harder to do so? What is utterly fucking ridiculous is
the playoffs at the end. Probably the main reason why the top teams play
'low risk' come to think of it.
Pffff, just been for a run, think I'm going to eat the fridge, muhahahaha
