[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 486763, member: 12190"] I don't agree at all with ruling out players because of their private indiscretions. The fact of the matter is that Lancaster is only taking this hard line because our poor showing at the world cup. I don't like this new 'policy' because it smacks off our rugby executives throwing their toys out the pram at the very idea of not reaching a final. The reason we didn't reach another final was not simply off the field distractions or discipline, it was a mix of inadequate coaching, in my opinion conservative and generally poor squad selections etc. I don't think it's right for Lancaster to take Care's punishment into his own hands just because Tindall and his bunch of merry fools were rubbish and gave the media a brilliant 'excuse' for failure. I can see that it's convenient, as this way, we don't have to admit that our squad wasn't good enough and did not play well enough. Let's be fair, Care is hardworking on the field, and I would rather have him doing that on the field and whatever off (apart from drink driving, as that is dangerous to other people) , than have Youngs playing like dogsh*t on the field and being quiet off it.
