[QUOTE="Groundhog, post: 880660, member: 50079"] In a unique twist for procrastination, I'm going to translate some German, but not the German I should be translating for my degree. This is from the DRV (National RFU, the clubs aka Wild are repped by GFR?) on the situation and they seem ****** and a tad perplexed. "On the part of the DRV there is a total lack of understanding for the steps taken by the national team players. This decision three days before a national game is unacceptable from our view. From our view the justification is incomprehensible, because in parts it's simply untrue" said DRV president Klaus Blank. "For these three national games the players have had very good conditions such as medical and sport science care made available to them. There was no agreed upon desire from the team that was left unfulfilled by the DRV for this test series. The leadership of the DRV, especially VP Hans Joachim Wallenwein plus the sport director is in regular contact with the coach and Team I am all the more irritated by this step, because there is a written agreement with the GFR over the availability of their reps/employees for the three test games, that is simply not being adhered to. We take the concerns and hardship of the players seriously, and have as such sought contact with the team. Certainly the handling of the negotiations is getting out of hand, due to the GFR's role as the player's employer/ the GFR's framing of facts to their players as employers (tad confused at this bit), which cannot be solved before Saturday. We will assemble the best possible team available, which will be overseen by 7s coaches Vuyo Zangqa and Clemens von Grumbkow in this game. Naturally in line with these measures the DRV must decide in the wake of the test series how they want to proceed with this situation." So it looks like the Germans will cobble together a team (and coaches) and play the game regardless, but seem to be promising some retribution for the players. Elsewhere in this thing I read it said the GFR have shut themselves off to communication. [/QUOTE]
