I’m talking about public perception. It’s all very well for rugby fans to brush it aside as part of the game but it doesn’t reflect well on a sport I love.
I do get that things can be a bit different when on a sports field such as copping a punch that doesn’t result in an assault charge but that is also precisely why the punishment for assault on field is dealt with in a stronger way than it used to.
I m not precious about what happened just saying that WR has allowed all and sundry to think that they don’t care much if someone grabs someone else’s cock during a game. That cat is now out of the bag and any actions now will look reactionary -
as long as they dont turn around and reverse MT's card...

@Crucial I can imagine he would have only just started waking up as they lifted him onto the stretcher if he had dared do it to Buck Shelford.
Yeah Buck was tough eh! Grrr! AWJ is a big pussy! Buck would have smashed him man.

@Crucial I'm off to a client's today so may toss them a rugby ball and do a nice legal hit at waist height. Should be ok with that eh? It's not even penalty material.
make sure you wrap

Worthy of sanction due to direct contact with head

As AWJ said in his post-match interview, if I'd hit him I would have been the one being sent off.
What's as disappointing as WR / 6N inaction is the fact that no English player or coach has come out and said that it was out of order.
Biting, gouging, butting, kicking, ball tickling.
No place in rugby union.

@MiketheSnow Buck would have knocked the ref out too just with an angry glance. He's tough!

@Catogrande said in England v Wales:
- High and no arms tackles. Numerous instances from both sides. No issue with the red card, poor technique and a falling George North but no arms so recklessness was there. I thought the clothes line on Young’s in the build up to Daly’s try was worse, although not so dangerous. I felt the dangerous tackle issue was not handled well at all.
Just watched the Tuilagi tackle. Red all day - flew in, no arms, and first contact is to the head. Eddie Jones has gone off the deep end, but he's dead set wrong.
Yeah - that's not a surprising red, so the question is - What's Eddie's game?
I reckon it's a bit of referee intimidation. Next time a ref's got a close penalty/yellow/red decision to make, he might think, "Eddie's going to have a crack at me" and so give a bit of benefit of the doubt.
Maybe Eddie should get a week in the bin!
Needs more than a week.

Re Marler
I'm not buying into anything other than his action being quite obscene and totally out of order.
It was essentially a sexual offence, designed to elicit a response to get an opponent sent off.
He deserved to be laid out, am impressed by AWJ's restraint, but in lieu of that he deserves at least the minimum punishment.

It was a really fucking weird thing to do too. Like the boxer who bit the other guy's ear or the League player who stuck his fingers up the opponents' bums.
I hope World Rugby punish Marler and his team severely:
IMHO Marler should get a 6 months ban and made to have counselling before he can go on a Rugby field again. England should forfeit the match and be docked 12 points.
