1239804 2011-10-25 10:27:00 So what does everyone think of the IRB.
First we had the pathetic carry on about the mouth guards and now they a going to fine the French for over stepping the mark during the haka.

Looks like Campbell Live are going to try raise the money for them like they did for Samoa.

1239806 2011-10-25 10:53:00 Craig Joubert was a real twat in the final, IMO. As have a lot of the refs throughout the tournament . Cato (6936)

What's that got to do with the fine for the French?

1239808 2011-10-25 12:42:00 I actually thought at one point in the game that the ref was going to red card .... I cant remember who it was, but a french player elbowed and punched one of the guys in the ruck... third quarter of the game i think. Ref just stood there about 2 feet away from it and did nothing.
A fine for what they did to the haka? I didnt think the french did anything except hold hands and walk a few steps.

1239809 2011-10-25 18:57:00 There was a rule stating that a certain distance must be maintained between those two teams. If this rule is violated, then a fine is well-deserved, wouldn't you say? Renmoo (66)
1239810 2011-10-25 19:17:00 Yeah. It looked like they were about to all mad-rush the AB's, some sort of scare-tactics? Everyone knows they're not allowed to cross over that line though ... Chilling_Silence (9)
1239811 2011-10-25 19:29:00 Yep they know the rules, they have to enforce it
They should give the 20k to some of the smaller teams that have no money for coming to nz

1239812 2011-10-25 19:54:00 I don't see why they should have to have a rule about it, the haka is not cultural to the AB's. If it was the Maori AB's then yes it is but the non maori AB's no

If they are going to allowed to ponce around like they are auditioning for X factor then other teams should be allowed to accept the challenge after all that is what the challenge is being done for

1239813 2011-10-25 20:10:00 Now what about the eye gouging?
Surely there should be punishment for that?
