Hypocrites

Post by Russ »

The eRFU has written a formal complaint to World Rugby because they believe the Welsh are poaching their rugby players

That's England, home of Hartley the kiwi, Hughes the SSI. Tuilagi and many others, complaining that a player who grew up around Wales wants to play for Wales

Wouldn't be surprised if they included our Tredders in their letter

Appears Ireland and Scotland were both mentioned in the letter

Also turns out the PRL have done a grubby deal whereby if an Irish player is at quins academy from 17 to 23 we would need to pay the PRL £5000 for each year for his training

Erfu have turned players into commodities which is not in the spirit of the game

Lionelbastards, I wonder how they will like their rugby when they have eliminated any possibility of any of the other nearby countries being able to compete? Good title, their hypocrisy knows no bounds.

This is just the next level after the dumb 5 years "naturalisation" which will shortly ruin the project system under which countries with tiny populations can never compete.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

How does that compare to the cost of having him in the Ulster Academy? And is the return better or worse?

If an Irish player, 17 - 23 yo is at Quins it is presumably because Quins want him and not Ireland. Feckin' money grabbing Lionel bastids.

Or he went to school in England. Had an Irish parent and at the age of 17 was not in a position to make a decision to move to another country.

At the age of 23 he then makes the decision to move

Somehow Ireland owe Harlequins £30,000

But how does this actually work Russ - is it a unilateral move by the PRL or is it agreed with World Rugby? Does it apply to all prospective international players? would the eRFU or WRU, FFR etc. be expected to pay too?

It seems unclear from the reports I've read but doesn't appear to be a World Rugby directive (hence the eRFU asking it to be) and simply seems to be the eRFU asking for money on behalf of private benefactors again

Why the feck would any honourable Englishman want to play for the sheep lovers. RFU is correct to raise this issue. It is quite disturbing.
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

Some may think this should be in the AI threads https://www.balls.ie/rugby/neil-francis ... and-376434 however, the author is a hypocrite so here it stays.

The neck of Francis deciding who will give heart and soul for the devalued Irish shirt, this from a man who didn't have a shortage of talent, just a shortage of bottle and a degree in laziness.

Mexican dog, if he'd been as quick into a ruck as he is with his keyboard he'd have been a better player. Instead, he's a waste of blood, bone & tissue, I always pondered, given his lack of heart, if he'd audition for the role of the Tinman in the Wizard of Oz.
