Funnily enough, he was banging about that tackle again only yesterday |
Matt - agree with you - I've nothing but respect for the Welsh fans, the ones I've been reading online have been pretty dismissive of the citing. And yeah - I know that the WRFU wouldn't have had any direct way of getting Carter cited.
IMO the citing in some fashion must have been influenced by Gatland's bleating - so I'll repeat I think he's a whingy fat bastid (Kiwi or not) - but I do think the IRB citing process is a bit of a joke anyway. Either every unintentional high tackle gets cited from now on - or it was a politically motivated decision.
Yeah - read that BOD article - he's such a gentleman isn't he?
Maybe he has a book coming out?
