And we haven't even started on the club that has had 5 players banned for contravention of the drug testing code.

So it's not just me then, I cant think of anything.

I always thought Rugby Union was a gentlemens game, what a joke. But can you imagine if it had been a league club doing that. Read article in the Daily Mail the other week which was compare the antic of the Union club as said they were as bad as football clubs. Least we can have a laugh

Think of Graham Holroyd's hair.

I'd expect the RFU/IRB to take a look at the substitutions policy in the light of this.

It's not the first time it has happened by some distance. The number of teams who are getting caned in the scrums that end up with specialist props limping off so the scrums go uncontested seems to be rising every season.

Perhaps a move to say 12 interchanges from the seven available substitutes rather than the current archaic system whereby a replaced player can only return to the field following an injury?

Now you have made me come in my pants.

But I still don't see the connection.

Was there something about a cut inside someone's mouth that nobody could see (when blood bins didn't count as a sub)?

They don't like to make it too obvious that they are following the lead of RL, so expect it to be changed for another season or two, and then be given some name so it's sound like it's different. 'Television Match Offical' anyone?

You mean like RL did when taking the "3rd umpire" from cricket and calling it the video referee?

I thought we nicked it from American Football?

IIRC the video review and coaches challenge system in the NFL is a fairly recent innovation.
