Sale have been given a five point deduction, suspended for two seasons, for the signing of Rohan Janse van Rensburg, who had already agreed a contract with Gloucester.
Van Rensburg was charged with conduct prejudicial to the interests of the game contrary to RFU Rule 5.12 for signing playing contracts with two Premiership clubs – Gloucester Rugby and Sale Sharks.
Sale Sharks were charged with breaches of RFU Regulation 7.5 (approaches to players) and Ginvert was charged with breaching RFU Regulation 8.5.2 (Registered agents must at all times observe the highest standards of fair dealing).
The club, van Rensburg and Ginvert accepted the charges and the following sanctions were given by the independent disciplinary panel:
As Mani is unavailable here is the thread to insult the fattest and dumbest of the XV.
According to Opta, these are the best Club Number 3s
Hey Guys,
Second piece here on the South African series. Attack off set-piece.
A lot of this was taken from Wales’ performance, who out of all the teams for me, had the best measure of them in attacking the weaknesses that this defence presents.
NZ may have won, but when the defence was fired up and at full intensity, Wales still exploited it. Damn effective A indeed.
Next one will be phase play, and i have some ideas liable to get me laughed at, but gotta put them out there! Aside from Bartman, do we have anyone who is a whizz with the laws down to minutae detail?
Cheers guys,
Conor
More random musings about the marginally more cognizant but infinitely more obnoxious component of the front row; the h0oker.
Figure number 3 in the well known ascent of man graphic after the scrum half as the first figure and prop as the second. AKA The March of Progress, properly called The Road to Homo Sapiens,
An unstructured discussion about the role, antics and typically poor behaviour of the loose head prop.
No surprises here but maybe a “car crash” like this maybe not all bad?
What would the NWO look like? Part time players? Bigger share owned by the likes of CVC.
Hey boys,
Hope you guys are keeping alright and are safe as can be hoped!
I said i was working on something on the South African D and this is the first piece. Was rightly blasted by Callum for not submitting it here sooner, but happy to provide. Next piece will be about how to actually beat it, but this one is simply to get the terms and understanding so the next piece does make sense.
Hope you boys enjoy it!
Cheers,
Conor
