Odd really as the lads I played and toured with although many being hard nuts and on the field in particular, and enjoying a few bevvies off it and generally getting up to stuff, at the same time they were gentlemen and would never harm a woman in particular.Smudge wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 5:32 pm The bottom line is, how well does he play rugby?
Not a week goes by when someone on here is pleading for the club to sign some hard nut enforcers.
Something I agree with but they will certainly not be choirboys or youth club leaders. They will also play hard off the field.
Yes, I have toured with some real hard nuts who never took a backwards step, on or off the field. Blokes who were not afraid to dive in among the feet and put everything on line for the team. They were brilliant people and have gone on to great success in business and the professions.. What happened in post match "celebrations" is certainly not for publication!
If that makes me a dinosaur tuff .
That's not to say that stuff that should not have happened never happened in the past, but suggesting others past antics have any resemblance to this topic and without evidence, and condoning poor behaviour in this case based on past antics is out of order.
This girl was left bloodied and in tears, and the situation was serious enough to be at trial for 42 weeks.
Within the boundaries of what in my opinion would be common decency that should not be expected or accepted.
