I honestly thought our commentator was going to turn round and lamp someone in the Northampton press team. Never heard anything like it.
No, tell us more...
Apparently their behaviour in the press box was atrocious and totally out of order. Think it was Adam Whitty commentating was mentioning it every few minues and was clearly furious. This went on throughout the whole match and he made further comments at the end about how disgusted he was at their behaviour. He was clearly fuming about it.

Sadly not the only report I am seeing about poor behaviour from Northamption and their representatives. This is not me being a sad loser, just hearing of behaviour I would not expect in rugby.

Seems like there may have been a bit of spice in there.
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

This was going on from before the kick off and not just after the match.

For once I was actually at the Ospreys match and aside from one very loud person not too far from me, I did not see or hear any issues.

Ah, understood, my misunderstanding. I did not get back home until nearly midnight and so missed out on all the social media posts afterwards.

So far I have heard the issued regarding the behavious in the press box and have seen a couple of reports of the behaviour of a northampton player after the match inside the ground. Fan beaviour is one thing but poor behaviour by members of the club or those closely associated with them is another matter entirely.

Break a leg with your bare hands?
Seriously unlikely unless in possession of the powers of Jedi.

A trapped leg may get broken in a fall.

Perhaps you will not break a leg with you bare hands but ramming your shoulder into a leg and then pulling back towards you could cause serious injury to the ankle.
It was an act of brutality by Weise, he knew what he was doing and I have lost any respect for him and I hope our club discipline him for it.
Perhaps Waller was the Northampton player who was kicking off after the game but who can blame him!!!

Nothing to do with breaking bones,it's shredded ligaments that are the worry

Honestly, still don't see what others seem to be. He's just holding on IMO. Way worse happens clearing out at every ruck.

Well if Weise hasn't done anything then we are throwing shade on Waller as a person and his character because you know the difference between someone holding your leg and twisting it. So option A Weise did twist and Waller rightly reacted or option B Waller is cheating and trying to get Weise penalised.

Or option C, Wiese had hold of his leg and in the movement of Waller being brought down he felt something twinge and made the assumption that as it's Weise and 'he's a thug' he must be doing something on purpose.....

For me it is likely to be a bit of both - Wiese trying to hold on and in doing so pulls Waller's foot, pulling it to the side, and causing Waller to think he is trying to twist it.

In any case, there has not been a citing, so that is really the end of it, isn't it?! Isn't the deadline for citings normally Monday at 17.00. Or have I missed it?
