@Pot-Hale but would they want the services of a man known to associate with such thugs?

Cane, not guilty. Thank fuck for that.
I just heard the cries of anguish drift over the Irish sea toward me.
Another eternal chip on the shoulder they can carry.
The whole thing was a joke and I'm delighted for cane.
I suppose now we get the "judiciary is run by NZ" malarchy

BT - you're evidently carrying a spear for Ireland and the Irish. That's fine, that's your bag. Generalisms about whinging, hardening up, etc, etc are just so much hot air. Much like the media articles that seem to be upsetting you so much. I'd question if you ever would want the opportunity to fight alongside someone Irish in any kind of war - sounds to me like you'd want to be on the other side.

As an aside why do you spend so much time on this forum, the roar, posting comments on stuff etc and not on those of your compatriots?
It's a free world and you do want you want, your views are enjoyed but do you not pine for the comforts of home at times?

And I am giving you an answer as to why he may spend time on here
-
One thing I would say is that at the game I was sitting beside an Irish acquaintance who is a good rugby man. Before kick off we discussed Jack O'Piper and he indicated that the Irish didn't like him after he let Guirado hammer Sexton with impunity in the previous France match. Not whingeing, just stating the fact. No quibbles after the event with the result. Did bemoan the fact that poor Irish kicking helped our cause significantly. Thought Barrett strip ought to have been a try. Like everywhere some Irish flamin gallahs but also some great rugby folk.

There aren't any discussion fora in Ireland like the Fern or the Roar. I enjoy discussions with fans from further afield than Ireland. I enjoy writing articles from time to time on different aspects of rugby which these fora allow me to do.
I do participate in a discussion forum from U.K., mainly to do with club rugby and sometimes the Six Nations.

The actual ruling is that the Cane tackle was deemed accidental.
Could have told you all that days ago.

You get a pass for using the plural fora. A learned man of good breeding. Although I think forums is also correct, but less romantic.
Let me lose the run of myself from time to time.

@Billy-Tell That's an epic whinge packed into a short report of a radio interview.
Here's the highlights:
I thought I was at the Colosseum on Saturday night...
deeply, deeply disturbing
The game is in serious trouble, because this is a disgrace
What happened to Robbie Henshaw is a disgrace
I think there was three head injuries, a number of neck injuries
The All Blacks raped my grandma and poured sugar in my petrol tank.Paul Kimmage has been winding himself up into a lather on rugby for some time, and he has them now firmly in the crosshairs of his crusading sights. It's not really a New Zealand thing, it's more, well, all of rugby really.
Is he the head injury crusade guy? What's his background?

He is. Well one of them. Along with PEDs. His background is in cycling, and he wrote a book many years ago - Rough Ride - about the goings on he had first hand experience of on the Tour and other circuits. He wasn't popular as a result particularly from the Irish darling of the time, tour winner, Stephen Roche.
Kimmage gave up cycling and moved into writing/journalism. He partnered up with David Walsh, another Irish journo not popular with the dopers on the Tour. Kimmage famously wrote of Armstrong coming back into cycling after his cancer treatment as the cancer is back. Armstrong publicly excoriated him at an international press conference for the remark playing the big man and belittling him. Kimmage is a terrier and does not let go. Himself and Walsh were quietly chuffed when reality finally caught up with Lance.
Himself and Neil Francis have been beating steady drums on PEDs in rugby for a while now and Kimmage said he had decided to conduct an investigation into it. Which will be another terrier job if he's convinced there's a story there.
Wait and see.

Ha - the terror the rest of the fucking world lives in lest New Zealand get cross with them! Apparently, especially the Australians.
Imagine the size of the balls Vernon Pugh must have had when he took the RWC2003 hosting rights off us. I'm surprised we didn't nuke London in retaliation. What did we do? Must have been something brutal that I missed. Force them to play Shortland Street on the BBC?
Not sure why Jaco Peyper would have been worried about sending anyone else off - his career was already fucked when he yellow-carded Aaron Smith.
