Kiwi whingeing about the RWC

Seriously though, I actually thought that you meant it the way I described it, seeing that the ABs got away with more dirty play than the frogs did. I agree that Rougerie's eye-gouging was pretty mean, but I'd never think of refering to the act as "girly" (much like I find someone's deliberate flying of a plane into a building being described as "an act of cowardice" somewhat inapt).

Rougerie was let off the hook during the Rugby World Cup Final as
evidence that he was up to no good only came to light outside of the
required 36-hour period during which a citing must be made.

In light of the Rougerie incident, the IRB will subsequently look at
extending that window, but we can’t imagine Richie would be best
pleased.

After all, if the authorities decide to flick back through the
archives and retrospectively punish McCaw for some of the unsavoury
incidents he’s been involved in down through the years, he wouldn’t have
much of a career left.
