McCaw incident moves IRB to action
9 Nov 2011
The International Rugby Board is considering extending the window that allows them to cite players for foul play.
This after they were prevented from acting upon evidence of serious foul play during last month’s World Cup final involving France’s Aurelien Rougerie and New Zealand skipper Richie McCaw.
Television footage showed Rougerie raking his hand across McCaw’s face and the governing body believes the midfielder would have faced a lengthy ban had this evidence arisen within the 36-hour window in which citings could happen.
‘The International Rugby Board can confirm that no action can be taken to initiate a citing case following an alleged act of foul play during the Rugby World Cup 2011 Final on 23 October,’ the IRB statement said.
‘[IRB's citing commissioner] Scott Nowland has determined that he cannot cite the alleged act of foul play as the footage emerged outside the citing period and he is unable to bring the matter within the exceptional circumstances provisions contained in the Tournament Disciplinary Rules which deal principally with mistaken identity and where further time is required to identify a player who may have committed an act of foul play.
“Both Unions have been advised of the outcome. The IRB and Rugby World Cup Limited take all acts of foul play seriously. The ongoing review of Regulation 17 governing the disciplinary process will give consideration to tournament rules and IRB Regulations to consider either extending the citing periods or widening the remit of the exceptional circumstance provisions to deal with the emergence of evidential materials following the elapse of the citing period.’

JJ, what’s up?
Chill man…..
Now that Shampoo is here, you’ll get a few lessons in insulting. It usually has to exceed the insult received, otherwise it kinda falls on its face.

@Finfan(Finfan)-213:
Oh well, it seems you scared him off after very subtly referring to him as a p***.
9 Nov 2011, 17:05 pm
@Helen(Helen)-214: His exact words:
“This Sean Marsh guy looks impressive. Good technique off the quick stuff.
His father was “caught behind” first ball of the 92? World Cup off Donald.”
Can you believe it? Fuckking stupidest thing I’ve ever read.
9 Nov 2011, 17:06 pm
you wanna learn how to be a proper serious vloek artist then you gotta let rip… no holding back… you gotta spurn all that previously assumed highfalutin fucked up goody two shoes opinion of yourself and let the wrath of Thor thunder through cyberspace … let em know EXACTLY what you think of them.. stop trying to curb your conscience when you know deep down you ain’t really got one..
That is how to do it.. you want a little sample of an example then turn the deaf ear forward … else mum’s gonna be the word..

@Finfan(Finfan)-217:
Dunno anything about cricket. Haven’t watched a single game since the Hansie scandal broke.

One of SA cricket unluckiest moments in it’s history was the 1st ball of the World Cup in 1992. (Gunth knows a bit about cricket so he will know).
Allan Donald bowled the 1st ball of the innings and the crowd was going crazy. Geoff Marsh was batting for Australia and nicked the ball to the keeper, who caught it. Umpire gave it not out when it was clearly a nick.
I was just saying that Sean Marsh who was batting today is Geoff Marsh’s son.

9 Nov 2011, 18:04 pm
Must say the entire past 4 years was like a big blown up helium balloon waiting for the pin prick to go POP…Big fat anti climax bring down!!!
ALL that hogwash carrying that bloated old sonofabitch over fed aura for the sake of WHAT exactly!!!
WTF FOR!!! 4 WHOLE years switching between tight head, then loose head, then tight head again, then hooker and eventually one fat belly flop FLOP out the WC.. without even a f’ng whimper… Not even a sorry I let you down… not even a belated apology for fcking up the team for the sake of some overblown self seeking satisfaction which went DOWN the bloody drain..Zero, Zilch .. Nada self searching introspection about HOW they fckd it ALL UP.. on the whim of some fancy bloated false fake fallacy that there was to be MORE gold hanging at the end of the self seeking rainbow..
SO WTF FOR??? Please let it be KNOWN why they stuffed around for 4 WHOLE years ALL for the sake of some over inflated individual to be hailed as an immortal twat.. when the simple solution was to get the hell out the way so that others could flourish.. And I betcha for ALL it is worth it would have been ONE hell of a better end to the saga… ABSOf’ngLUTELY!!

9 Nov 2011, 20:48 pm
So the moaning whingeing Saffer fans continue with their diatribe against the No.1 Team on the planet, the only Team who can fill a Stadium anywhere in the world, unlike the Boks. Build some bridges people and ‘got over it’…the Cup has gone, long live the Cup holders the mighty AB’s. The sad thing about all of this is that the Boks had the game there for the taking against the Wallabies and ‘CHOKED’ ‘BLEW IT’ …no-one else is to blame, except the poor performance of the players wearing the Green and Gold on that day. To allow the Wallabies to win that game is criminal…so what do Saffer/Bok fans do…they moan about the AB’s, they moan about Richie, they moan about Refs, soon they will be moaning about anything that happens to pass their way…..give it a break PLEASE…enough is enough…you have 4 more years to try and get it right, but if PDV is back as coach…then forget it…he is about as intellectual and rugby savvy as a Chinaman playing hopscotch….the AB’s won, they deserved to win, the French played well, but they lost….it only takes 1 point to win … you know just like the Boks did against Wales in the pool game…so go figure cupcakes…

@JohnPaul(JohnPaul)-242:
Your point being….
9 Nov 2011, 21:41 pm
Smit is eventually gone but he’s gone too late, shoulda fckd off when the going was still good, shoulda disappeared before the damage got done…,too little too late,.., hung on too long…, hoping, more like praying for that extra bumped up extra endorsed pay day…, good f’ng riddance but not before the over stayed welcome got the damage done…, yet they’ll all still lay wreaths of hollow hero worship hullabaloo at the self seekers self serving door…,
9 Nov 2011, 21:43 pm
242@JohnPaul…say ”PRETTY PLEASE”
9 Nov 2011, 23:02 pm
Isn’t it amazing how the IRB panders to every little incident involving Richie ‘ whose **** doesn’t stink’ McCaw (re McCheat!).

Diary of an AB Fan – day 18 as World Champions..
today started like every other day recently, was reminded yet again that the ABs are world champs, and the chesire has nothing on my smile. After welcoming Bill home with what is now becoming an every morning, customary salute to Sir Bryce, perusal of web sites had me in shock. It is about bloody time the IRB looked after King Ritchie, and that dirty, conniving frenchman should never be allowed to play the game again. dont they know you cant mess with g0d? Have sent an email to cuzzie Paddy, outlining my absolute disgust that ANYONE lay a hand on the Ritch and to not expect recriminations is simply not acceptable.

@Maljan(Maljan)-246:
Excellent input Mr lemons.
See your still upset about the RWC. Dont let it bother you, 4 years goes really quickly,in no time at all you will be saying the refs cheat and corruption again in 2015.
10 Nov 2011, 03:46 am
