BS. Players know and accept the risk. This will just ruin rugby if it is even allowed.

Just like you know you might break your leg, you might get any injury, your own voluntary participation indemnifies all other parties.

This is true for all sports.

Let's what happens in the court case of 200 players suing.

Rugby union players’ legal case over brain injuries begins in high court

A claim brought by more than 200 former players against the RFU, WRU and World Rugby alleging they suffered brain injuries has reached the high court

We all accept that rugby is a contact sport and injuries can and will happen. But players must be protected from foul/cynical/dangerous actions by other players. This is why yellow/red cards exist. The problem is the double standard that is applied and not every citation is handled fairly.
 
Money under the table.

Or...

Pollard out, Ntamack out, don't want Farrel out as well.
 
I must say, I do find this Sir Owen Farrell story funny.

England Rugby now have our own version of Butch James / Bakkies the ENFORCER Botha type of rugby player.

Now the world is whinging and crying.

I know these last couple of days have all been about the Farrell, what really annoys me though.

Is the fact that its been about Owen Farrell, It should be about how Andy Farrell is couching the Irish and not England.

That's the travesty.

Is Andy Farrell making the Irish players sit out?

How drunk were you when you posted this?
Also, he's been coaching the Irish since 2020. Why would it be a discussion point this week?

He is just trying to justify Owens kak behavior as a fellow Englishman. That is why he brought in Bakkies and Butch. He has nothing constructive to add about rules being rules.

And both of those players were rightly carded and banned multiple times throughout their careers, it's only Farrell that seems to have rugby plot armor that gives him a free ride.
