[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 792209, member: 20956"] I've also seen that they've hired a lip reader and have picked up Marler telling Lee to "go back to his caravan", or something along the lines. Had Marler called Lee "oh Welsh c***" we wouldn't really be talking about this. I wouldn't have been bothered by it anyway, but then again I've been fairly desensitized to the word over the last few years. Nationality is a very different to a minority race though, especially one that's protected from discrimination by law, and has had a history of persecution and discrimination down the years... Happy that world rugby has taken it into their hands, but ridiculous that it's drawn out this long. Would've been fairly happy with the minimum back when it happened, potentially with a week or two cut off for the apology and remorse shown. [/QUOTE]
