[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1138570, member: 74121"] Refreshing the almost universal disgust at this in the rugby media. Here is a good article on the wild discrepancies in the treatment of Farrell versus a Tongan and my avatar. They could easily have expanded this to inciude Fagerson in my opinion. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.planetrugby.com/news/opinion-owen-farrells-rescinded-red-card-an-appalling-act-of-double-standards[/URL] And here is another article indicating that the issue is that 6Ns administer their warm up matches and the associated disciplinary panels. So essentially the decisions on Fagerson and Farrell are the 6N unions regulating themselves (with predictable seemingly corrupt results). The 6N essentially appears able to pick and choose when World Rugby has any oversight over them (which probably suits Beaumont & co down to the ground too). The suggestion now is World Rugby will appeal the Farrell decision (I would argue because this has become a circus that even WR cannot ignore rather than WR having their heart in the right place). [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.planetrugby.com/news/owen-farrell-saga-getting-the-facts-straight-amid-chaotic-blame-game[/URL] Given the importance of player health you would like to think any reasonable world governing body would use this as grounds to investigate the suitability of 6N rugby to administer non-6N matches and ultimately move to withdraw that privilege. Instead WR will soon be handing the 6N full, unmitigated control of June and November test windows via the World League, handing even more authority over to the 6N unions to dictate core elements of the development of the sport for decades to come. Just when i thought I could not dislike rugby's administrators any more... :p [/QUOTE]
