@brettburnz: Imagine the double standards? #greenscreen #urc #rugby

AB :

Its nothing to do with hemispheres: Very straightforward differences between the two cases: Wessels Intent Deemed deliberate (unnatural arm movement toward the groin) Furlong: Deemed accidental (happened dynamically during a ruck clear-out with no unnatural arm movements)

SINMOBBOY213 :

its not good in any country. shows double standards for northern teams over southern teams.

MiKeyMo :

BS. Gavin Coombes never accused him. In fact he cleared him.

Peter Murphy835 :

you are 100% correct

BOOYAA :

Not even worth discussing. Let's be honest who expected him to get a ban of any sort? Anyone who has followed rugby for the past 10-15 years would've known as a Northern Hemisphere player there wouldn't be any issues with it. If he was from the Southern Hemisphere it would've been a completely different story with a 9+ game ban as seen with Wessels. The only way to get anywhere is if maybe SA, Aus, NZ and Arg would come together and start opposing all these types of decisions but then again none of them probably care enough about it until it happens to one of their players.

its_justjamie :

Cause one was a Springbok 🤷

JDS :

Atleast you got the b@lls to call it as it is. Clearly discrimination

LLCOOL"C" :

Why do you think World Rugby change rules only to help European teams

Steve King :

I would love to know what Coombes said in the disciplinary hearing. I suspect he was not as strong as what Murphy said in the Wessels case. I think that’s the difference in the outcomes.

cormaccronin7 :
