What happened to Rugby?
Caught red-mouthed cheating. Best bit is that arrogant numpty Will Carling said everyone was over-reacting and Dean Richards was a scapegoat.
What sport would you gladly enjoy knowing that at some point the physio or the doctor would have to deliberately cut you with a concealed scalpel or razor blade!!!

They used blood capsules. Cut them after to make it look real as suspicion was raised.
Rugby is full of dirty cheating players yet is held up as a paragon of virtue compared to football. The only good side is the attitudes to the ref. For the rest of it if they aren't trying to gouge, trample or punch the opposition they're necking steroids or other drugs to get bigger.
It's what happens though when a sport goes professional and money comes into it.

although TBH they cut themselves 9 times out of 10.blading can make things a bit 'interesting', makes it a bit sick when they cut themselves too deep though
for example :whoops: YouTube - Eddie Guerrero vs JBL

still not be long before the 'quins league team are taking after their union hosts. The M62 corridor must be reeling from the reek of garlic every time Catalan come to play. Not quite the same as a Wigan pie, or a gallon of Greenalls at St's Anyway .......Leeds Rhinos!!!

And all the away teams used to chant at us '...boring Leicester - always cheating'...
Well, NOT anymore. We're good guys now.
Rugby is still a fantastic game to watch when it's played at the highest level and this sort of cheating really is few and far between.
After everything Deano had done for us I was totally gobsmacked when I heard this. I never ever thought someone held in as high a regard as him could be party to something as dodgy as this.
But it's done now and the game will move on and certainly be cleaner for it.
As for the public schoolboy stereotype - you clearly know nowt about todays Union players!

The missus is from Wigan so Rugby League is in her blood. After being with her for 10 years it's been thrust upon me by both the in-laws and her (so much so that I have almost adopted that inbred bitterness towards St. Helens that Wiganers just love to exhert). Rugby Union's just an excuse for posh schoolboys to touch each other up in the guise of a contact sport.

As for the cheating, it'll happen in every sport whether we like it or not.
Nowt like the tast of Pooles' Pies!

A bit like McLaren - the mud was slung and we could not believe it; mud was slung again and it stuck.
Cheating seems much worse when the mighty fall.
As for hooligans, just look at Brian Moore. Psycho!
PS Rugby in Scotland is played by farmers and tractor drivers

John Hopoate, when playing for West Tigers had a 12 week ban for forcibly inserting a finger into his opponents anus during a tackle.
Proctological rugby
That is clearly a step up from a forearm "facial" as so beloved by Stevo!!

lmao, I'd forgotten all about that incident Rob. I miss watching Aussie Rugby League on SkySports - I'm sure those guys were on steroids; never seen the game played at such a ferocious speed! 
As for Stevo, his commentary is legendary

Anyway as a dual coder, (no thats not union code for cross dressing
) pretty sad to see such cheating and by all accounts on 4 separate occasions, and this fast on the heels of Bath drugs problems. Mind you nice to see Gaz Hock holding up the league end of things and getting himself banned. Still support both codes and you have rugby 365 days a year, the mrs loves it, or maybe not

I fear the great game of rugby league has also been tainted by rather dubious "contact"

I have always said rugby is a game for boarding school kids who are borderline gay, why would you stick a finger up another mans aris?
egg chasing ****!

I played rugby union for Stuttgart for 3 years and I can guarantee there is not one member of the team that was a public school boy bully or brought up with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Must be due a little to rugby League Haute Couture, plunging V necks and breath takingly snug shorts, the poor chap probably couldn't resist a wee poke!
Anything that annoys Klaatu must of course be kept on the air, just to ensure he is kept at the optimum level of annoyance.

Anyway, that pic is of an Australian though, so at the end of the day NOTHING is beyond them *******, they ain't even human!
