Ireland Rugby announces 9 week ban of Jan-Hendrik Wessels.
“We wanted to ban one of the good players, but none of them grabbed someone’s balls, so we went for one of the shit ones that did”
Mapimpi also banned, surprisingly not for gouging.
100%, burying their head in the sand will do nothing good
That’s one thing the URC can’t really face, because there’s a good handful of refs in their league that are woefully below professional level. But it’s not easy to magick up a dozen pro refs from nowhere
The Wessels thing is ridiculous. 9 games is a fair ban for grabbing someone’s balls.
All of South African Twitter seem to see him as totally innocent, and some shadowy cabal is banning him. Grow up lads
Sometimes his darts board throws out a correct answer tbf
Some deadwood in that Leinster and Ireland squad that needs to be cleared out, shown bare against Munster today
I guess the difference is Smith had dozens more games than him at this age, and was much much better
I mean for the end of the season, but yeah, definitely feels like no one’s started the season well. Not disastrous yet, but international break is at a good time for a reset
No Jordie to bail you out this season
Not naming names, but Zebo is awful
How difficult is it to have some professionalism for a couple of hours and not cheerlead the team you used to play for?
It's very odd how Irish comms can't ever hide bias for their provinces. Must be very annoying. #LEIvMUN #URC
Also that logo and name makes it look like an indoor go karting centre in an industrial estate
Great start for R360 as it doesn’t secure the handle R360 or Rugby360. Starting with a bang!
Saw Frankenstein at the London Film Festival some interesting changes in the plot versus the novel. Definitely making the scientist much more the villain of the piece. Felt slightly too long, but yet the ending felt rushed. The tower scenes looked like Wicked #LFF25
I’m not sure the BBC should be doing puff pieces like this. Surely the biggest mistake of his life should be the domestic abuse of his wife.

Enjoy the rebrand Sarries, we’ll enjoy the win #HARvSAR
Farrell is running a blocking line, absolutely no penalty there #HARvSAR
Omid Djalili on the Saudi comedy festival.
Surely someone with a load of money…
Did he play Candle in the Wind?
But yes, South Africa for me definitely has a doping problem in rugby.
Rugby as a whole buries its head in the head with doping even as the players get bigger and have more stamina and play all year round.
Does anyone know if the Champions Cup semis are still not in South Africa, but European neutral venue?
