IRB & James Horwill

[WFDom]

We should have started a media campaign just like the London rugby press did!

Was it the London press?

Well yeah; from what I've been reading, but that's purely because Sky News, BBCSport, the Times and the Daily Mail come from there. I'm sure there's something similar coming from the other countries, however the usual tabloid-quality diatribe generally starts in the British capital. I was looking on the net for the British Isles view on the 1st test, but I ran into the anti-Horwill media campaign instead. That'll teach me to actively try and read rugby media with a balanced perspective!

Horwills stamp looked intentional. Of course he denies that . The guy should be out for this game. The original judiciary decision was a joke. ...

Zim, what is your opinion of the stamping incident? (not the judicial decision)

[Alison]

Fox is reporting that all evidence has been heard but decision not likely til tomorrow morning now as "judge" needs at least a couple of hours to consider. What a total farce!

The powers that be need a swift kick in the pants for not citing Owen Farrell

horwill is out apparently...

id already said that on the balance of tv vision of the incident it looks like he stamped. however ive only seen one angle unlike the judicial officer. so i will assume there are mitigating circumstances... just like there were with the biting incident with sheehan. the judiciary are there to make a deliberation. they made one..shouldve been end of story.

Maybe the IRB should appeal this decision

I take it back he hasn't been rubbed out yet... I saw a vid clip on news.com.au that had the title "tearful horwill to miss 3rd test" seems they mightve jumped the gun as the clip had no commentary

It's no longer about horwill's being guilty or not - the IRB will be looking to avoid a massive embarrassment and save fade with the media & the other rugby nations.
If he is again found not guilty we will all be laughing at the IRB and the tourists because let's face it - their tantrums will be epic!

I'll be able to hear badger from over here!

He's gone for at least 2 IMO

"And James Horwill of a long career in top rugby and an impeccable disciplinary record is to sit through another inquiry."
