I told you so

Brian Moore believes that Dean Richards' return to the headlines shows the flaws in ERC's judgement against him in The Daily Telegraph.

"I told you so. I usually have little time for those who revel in schadenfreude, but this time I am enjoying the public discomfort felt by the officials from European Rugby Cup Ltd and the International Rugby Board over their inability to draft and impose a uniformly binding ban on Dean Richards, who has since carried out consultancy work for Worcester, for his part in the Bloodgate affair.

"It would not be thus had it not been for the disgraceful way ERC ignored repeated and legitimate questions about serious deficiencies in their prosecution of Richards et al, refusing to front up while hoping it would all go away. It would be different had the IRB, situated in the same Dublin office block, not simply rubber-stamped the whole thing and refused to investigate such serious concerns."
