Georgina Robinson, in the Sydney Morning Herald, argues that the International Rugby Board have made some bad calls in recent weeks.
"The All Blacks would be ''replaceable'' at the 2015 Rugby World Cup, a player banned indefinitely for not attending a disciplinary hearing and another fined $10,000 for wearing a branded mouthguard.
"Comments and rulings, such as these, that emerged from the International Rugby Board yesterday did little to help the governing body win the public relations battle at the code's showpiece event."
