I've only just joined this forum, and my team is England.
I tried posting a new thread on this incident on the International Forum, as I noticed two others were closed, and I will admit mine was provocatively worded, which is probably why it was erased, but even so, why has this incident been closed to comments?
It was one of the most serious unprovoked and cowardly attacks I've seen in recent years - don't forget the Welsh player ended up in hospital - and while we all realise how awesome a team the All Blacks are, their apparent management comment: We play the game the same way as every other team', or words to that effect, if true, are a deep and ignorant insult to every other team.
Some posters have said something like: 'It's happened, let's get over it, it's time to move on.' This I don't understand, particularly the last five words, which are full of irony, in my view, well, unless this coward gets a year's ban minimum, say. Then I'd agree, we will have moved on.
