"honest defence" is a mitigation it does not abscond the person who made the false claims even by accident. It depends on the seriousness of the allegation https://www.lawsonline.co.uk/defamation-of-character-uk-law/ having said that Curry and the RFU are sticking to their guns so I think the oppor...

Your know you didn't and you obviously don't know how slander works It would be libel (by the RFU), not slander. Also honest defense is a cornerstone of such claims. Slander by Curry , libel by the RFU If "honest defense" is his defense then either appologise because he honestly misunderstood and m...

I'd say it's pretty relevant with respect to the expectation of an apology from him or the RFU. The UK just dont want anybody to talk about it when they do something wrong (on purpose or by mistake) This thread is an example of it with English calling the discussion boring or that the thread needs ...

Look in the mirror assfly. You are supporting your player because he is your player. So you have no evidence that he didn’t say anything, just a feeling that he wouldn’t? I don’t know what actually happened just as much as you don’t know what happened. But for your player to start gloating about it...

Bongi's "crass" statement and the jokes in South Africa are testament to how f**king ridiculous the false allegations were in the first place. South Africa has suffered exponentially from racism.

That link doesn't work for me but I found another that just has one angle so really inconclusive. I don't see how it wasn't at least yellow from what I saw but I do note his legs are at least bent so a little bit more mitigation than Cane. But I'd need to see more angles and as you say most pundits...

We got Glen Eagles hotel cheap with a group booking. 80 of us... About a third of normal price per room. This was a while ago, but every conference was similar.

Any one see Harry Maguire stumbling around after a head knock at the weekend? Definitely looked concussed... the Dr looked at him and didn't even take him off for an HIA..

Yep. Bloke is five inches taller than Cane and he was running around all day giving out free - legal - chiropractic adjustments. Monster of a player. Cane has no excuse.

Reading the ruling I'm not sure how Cane got any mitigation. He acknowledged foul play but contested that it met the red card threshold, I though a full guilty plea was required for mitigation from 6 to 3 weeks? And while banned for neither incident he has been involved in two other high profile in...

booze

What? Kriel, stoops, turns around and runs into Cane. And as you can see with his body height it is significantly lower as impact Is made. The contact is low danger as Kriel literally stops and Cane is tracking back so there is little forceful impact as he wraps his arms. Kriel makes two steps afte...

No it isn't. He clearly steps forward and tries to power through the tackle https://twitter.com/KC_Ryback80/status/1718357633910837475?s=19 Interesting there was judged to be no mitigation. Unless Im mistaken and Jesse Kriel is actually 5 feet 2 I'd have thought his relatively low body position and...

I had to just watch there again to refresh my memory and you're having an absolute laugh saying Cane ends up making a tackle he wasn't expecting. Why did he target the guy he tackled if he wasn't expecting it? He lines him up from a few metres out. He was tracking Kriel from the moment he got the b...
