Pomposity must be pricked in the wake of Bloodgate
Rugby is in the spotlight as never before, but the powers-that-be should beware draconian judgments, writes Eddie Butler in the Observer.
"The summer showed justice in rugby, be it the International Rugby Board finally ruling on the armband protest of the Springboks – Oxymorongate: Justice for Bakkies – or the ERC's damning of Deano, moves with solemn and aching slowness. But never has a statement been more swiftly retracted than Regional Rugby Wales'. Damn you, Lewis, you're a bast... baster of the cogs of reconciliation. Bless you, sir."
