I think people forgive a hell of a lot if the win/loss ratio is good. Playing a crappy style and losing is not going to win fans over. Playing a crappy style and winning is going to keep a lot of fans satiated at least. I also think that a semi regular turnover in coaching (and indeed all...

My apologies - you didn't say anything about it. I had mistaken you for one of the other posters (my bad).

I'm having a bit of difficulty understanding that response to my post actually. I have not made a claim about the process being unfair. I have not made a claim about whether what the IRB did would be legal or not.

Good point. I will remove that part and now ask you the exact same question as well: With all due respect - Horwill's case has been tried twice by impartial reviewers using reportedly significantly more evidence than you and I have access to and you are still sticking to "He's guilty". Is it...

With all due respect - Horwill's case has been tried twice by impartial reviewers (one of whom was actually not impartial being from the OPPOSITION team's country) using reportedly significantly more evidence than you and I have access to and you are still sticking to "He's guilty". Is it...

I am glad that the original findings were upheld.

Me too. To be honest I would hope that they do, because the western legal system has had an extended period of time in which to fuck up, review and change itself such that it has evolved towards *generally* the best direction. Smarter people than me have thought about the ramifications of...

Sheesh, you guys are going to have a ball given the state of the series. I would not be able to sleep all week just in anticipation.

JOC (James O'Connor) and KB (Kurtley Beale) need to start playing regularly for their franchises again. They are waaay better than a lot of other player talent wise, and in these big matches they probably don't lose their shit like some debutants *might* do (who can tell for certain), but these two have almost no game sense...

Pretty hard to see how he could possibly give a not guilty verdict to Horwill this time around. Essentially, the IRB have just stated that the first guy got it wrong. On the non selection of George Smith, whilst I would have loved to see him playing this week (as would we all), perhaps he...

Foxtel Go is online. Pretty handy little app and makes for watching the midnight games in the middle of winter a much more enjoyable experience (i.e. in bed and under the doona).

Surely they mean 6am, not the position number.

:O Wow. I hadn't heard that he had been charged. Still, given how most of the sports starts legal things go, he will be allowed a lot of leeway to sort it out with a minimal amount of fuss.

I think people are getting very carried away now and I am sorry but when I read that sentence I could not help but picture this.

BOD could see where the player was and where his feet and the opposition player were. Horwill could not.

Outside centre. He has been brought in as a replacement for AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper). Seriously though, I hope Deans doesn't wildly vary the line up if possible. He has trained the guys for weeks so try to keep the plan together and don't over react.

He chose to go back inside.

Your logic is sound and if I had not seen any video I would agree, but that video does not correlate with your statement. I have just paused my way through that video and at no stage does he have a line of sight to his own feet. Can you give me a still image or another video where he has a...

Are you saying that Horwill deliberately and clearly went for the lions player's face?

Obviously Ii am seeing it through a more rouge shade of glasses than a number of others, so I won't comment any more on the legitimacy of what he did. However most here seem to think he is guilty it would then come down to punishment. Why 4 weeks? How many weeks did Benny A sit out for his...
