How 'misunderstood' Rassie Erasmus is rolling back the clock

So one says there is a formal dispute from parties in position to table such a motion in May and yet refuses to name them, the other says ‘nay’!

Fascinating to see how this plays out next month…

How do you know “roughly half the World Rugby board disputes these splits under the law”?

How do you know this “will arise at the May WR board meeting”?

Time to back up your position with some solid fact, instead of blowing out unsubstantiated hearsay!

Ps in the event that you can substantiate your opinion, confirm beyond doubt there is a legitimate challenge and that the issue is on the agenda for formal review, then I agree with much of your interpretation on how the law operates and might be interpreted. However right here and now, that’s nothing more than one great big ‘IF’…

I hope Leinster haven’t seen the footage. They’ll tear up the contract.

Leinster, Munster among 7 clubs chasing South African schools sensation

It begins here. The prophecy will be fulfilled.

Ireland will finally win a knockout game at the RWC 2027 and back it up by going all the way. This young pup, Neill will be the difference in the final. He’ll win it for us.

South African and Irish relations will be restored to blissfulness.

Tidy looking player.

Glasgow hit back at Stephen Donald's 'absolutely unfounded' comments

On a neutral venue, both at their best, with best side, out, Connacht would win. That's what you're looking for right, don't like hearing that Super rugby isn’t what it used to be with Jaguares and South African teams not involved anymore. Urc is more competitive, but top 3 New Zealand teams are above the rest, by a bit, at mo… that’s what I mean…

Brian O'Driscoll the latest name to back 'brilliant fit' Lions bolter

Yeah they are all fantastic in their way. The pick will probably be down to the way Farrell wants to play. Ford could have easily been picked in 17 and 22 but Gatland liked Biggar probably due to strength under the high ball and defense.

What I’d say about Ford and England is that he isn’t going to run all the way to 27 so has to be dropped sooner. But that doesn’t affect the Lions.

Ford is good enough to go on the Lions tour. There isn't a lot to choose between Farrell, Ford, Smith, Smith, Crowley, Prendergast, Russell. You can make arguments for any of them.

Just wrong on so many levels. I am asking YOU how YOU know the law is in dispute? YOU are the persona saying that it’s in dispute and on the agenda for the next WR meeting in May, how do YOU know this and when will YOU tell us who exactly is disputing the law to put it on the agenda?

Until you answer these basic questions, everything else is irrelevant and you’re just shooting in the dark…

Commentator's reason for backing Billy Proctor-Barrett combination in the AB's

johnz 1 hour ago

I just don’t see it happening, not before this WC is over. Unfortunately.

Gone are the days when players were picked mostly on form. The press like to romanticise about the good old days when that was true, and in fairness, so do we - the fans.

The fact remains; the ABs are more like a club team now, and Reiko is locked in with a big paying contract, has been heavily invested in at 13, so there he will remain.

Yes there is still some room for form, but taking the place of a senior player with a big juicy leadership group contract, and sabbatical clauses to keep him put until the WC, is probably not one of those opportunities.

Heck, they respect him so much, they award him with leading the haka, despite acting like a 13 year old in his spat with Sexton.

So we’ll just have to get used to blind on attack Reiko. In fairness, he’s been very solid on defence at international level, and that’s nothing to be scoffed at.

But I look forward to (or hope for) seeing Proctor, Faingaʻanuku, and others compete to replace him. Both are players who recognise there are 3 blokes playing outside them.

Losing $250,000 in USDT to a fraudulent crypto platform was the most devastating experience of my life financially and emotionally. It all started with what seemed like a legit trading site, promising high returns and showing fake profits in my account. But when I tried to withdraw, they demanded a $10,000 “transfer fee.” I couldn’t pay and just like that, my account was locked. That’s when the nightmare became real. I’d been scammed. Desperate and heartbroken, I turned to CRYPTO RECOVERY CONSULTANT, a company I found after deep research because let’s be honest, most so called “recovery services” are scams too. But CRYPTO RECOVERY CONSULTANT. cryptorecoveryconsultant @ cash4u . com was different. They were transparent, professional, and relentless. Using advanced blockchain tracing tools, they tracked down the movement of my USDT and helped recover every last dollar. I couldn’t believe it. Their communication was clear and consistent, always keeping me updated. They didn’t just chase the money they understood the emotional toll and treated me with real care. If you’ve been scammed, don’t give up. There are real experts out there. CRYPTO RECOVERY CONSULTANT gave me my life back. I’m sharing this so you don’t feel alone and so you know help is possible. whats app: +198 425 804 30

How 'misunderstood' Rassie Erasmus is rolling back the clock

Again, when there is a question over how the the law (the final draft, the fine print) is interpreted then the INTENTION of the law must be determined. Supreme courts tend to have final say in this for States. For Rugby Law it will be similar with the INTENTION deciding how the law applies. Calling standard law practice for centuries ‘ludicrous’ or ‘bleating’ without substantiation does nothing for your argument.

An official involved with the creation of the law has said that the intention of the law was 5-3 with no9, no10 and another back covered. It will be up to the Rugby Board in May to decide if the loophole Erasmus used is legitimate and not contrary to the intention of that law. Lets hope integrity prevails.
