6 Nations Thread 2023

What a joke of a ban,
6 weeks reduced to four weeks for pretending to be sorry and can be reduced to 3 if he goes to naughty school

In what world does he deserve a reduction? He's a repeat offender, even against the same side

It really needs to be a properly independent panel, same as the refs are drawn from. At least in England it's just a bunch of barristers and officials inside the game already.

Give some decent lawyers/other professionals the framework and a bit of guidance. They don't even need to know the game inside out. Appoint the promising ones to the panel and see what happens

 

[General Melchett]

The ref should be getting an appointment at Specsavers for saying "I'm not seeing a high degree of danger". The AR saved his skin.

They shouldn't call them hearings because if the decision is contentious the players have no opportunity to attempt to explain themselves with a view to getting a decision overturned.

I was abit surprised with that statement, but I thought as a team they handled it well, and the referee took what they said onboard and made the right call eventually.

But yeah, why what was essentially a flying headbutt took so long to sort out is a mystery.

******* hell the Beeb didn't learn their lesson with one SH in the form of Jiffy as a commentator, yet they seem be experimenting with Danny Care??

Trying to work out what SH means here. Usually in rugby it means Southern Hemisphere or Scrum Half - neither of which apply.

Short Human

As a Short Human, I find this suggestion offensive

 

[Lé Ddanno]

I'm going to claim I meant **** head and totally ignore any notion or suggestion that I do not know (or care) where Jiffy played

Sh** Head - in which case, fair enough, but Austin Healey is still surprisingly good in the commentary box (most of the time) - and there can't have been many bigger Sh** Heads in the game

Haha, they didn't ask any England player/Borthwick and no one else went for God save the King.

 

[General Melchett]

Surprised POM and Gatland went for Flower of Scotland. Thought they might go for France or Italy.

England doesn't have an anthem they sing the national anthem of the United Kingdom

As noted here it's the British national anthem

National Anthem

The British National Anthem in its present form dates back to the eighteenth century. The words and tune are anonymous, and may date back to the seventeenth...

I know. It's still .

 

[General Melchett]

I've said this before but the English national anthem should be a celebration of being English. GSTK is basically an ill deserved tribute to sausage fingers.

Banned as Morris dancing is considered a form of psychological warfare.
