[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 840701, member: 45598"] No one mentions Cian Healy being a thug? What planet are you on lad? The two aren't closely comparable though. If you don't think players from other countries don't attract unwarranted hate you're deluded, you've just called a guy who has spent something like 4 weeks of his career suspended a four letter expletive and a thug for example, Sexton, Murray, Hogg, J Davies, Williams among many more get it yards too! There's a serious echo chamber among English fans on this forum which causes caused this imo. Saying it wasn't rugby is plainly wrong, it's been used before and will be again, saying Conor O'Shea ruined rugby is a dickish thing to say of a fellow professional with a fraction of your resources, who is fighting claims his team should not be in the competition for getting the better of you for 40 mins. Saying this isn't rugby is so ridiculous actually, How can there be offside without a Ruck? A ruck is a contest for the ball after the tackle, if neither the tackler nor another player contests how can there be a ruck? If a ruck were to start with the attacking team entering the ruck it's just a step closer to league where the team with the ball dictates everything in the game. [/QUOTE]
