[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 961407, member: 40658"] I think you have a misconception about the fans though. Remember that Journalists, Administrators and even citing commissioners are all in some shape or form a fan of rugby. While many of us with no official affiliation to a team or governing body use social media, to either point out issues of frustration/contention/double standards. Whether or not it's a big issue, that depends on how it's received by others as well as the media and the administrators. I think in this day and age, the voice of the public is something that shouldn't be underestimated, because the weight it can potentially carry. And you are wrong about attendance. It might not affect this World Cup, but it will definitely have an effect on upcoming tours and events after the WC. Especially if there is some sort of indication that some team got shafted. Nothing, Zip, Nada. But what is interesting is that the journo's kept on saying that the Citing Commissioner only has 24 hours after the match to make a decision on an incident, which is in fact incorrect, as the Citing Commissioner has 36 hours according to the WR document I shared earlier in the thread. And before that 36 hours were up, the videos of the incidents were already circulated on social media. [/QUOTE]
