Richie McCaw not cited after Rugby World Cup semi-final

Geez there's an anti McCaw thread with this fulla everywhere you go...man...got it bad....

If you say it enough times Peter, you'll eventually believe it.

I wrote POSTERS (on blogs like roar) NOT players. Just your febrile mind read what it wanted to.

apparently my response to this has been moderated for using the word f..rt. i apologise for using such common language to continue the flatulence themed discussion.

Lol!

The real story of the World cup has been missed by the English "Journalists' from the Daily Telegraph, the Times and The Guardian. While they were led by Brian Moore into a story about McCaw, they missed the sighting of several very upset Dwarfs leaving the post-mortum of the English Rugby team. Apparently they were lured there by reports of a sleeping beauty being on site. Reliable reports indicate that they were accosted by a group of large men wearing snow white uniforms. While some Dwarves muttered darkly about Dwarf tossing taking place, video footage clearly shows that the Dwarves feet never left the ground. The Dwarfs were adamant that tossing had indeed taken place just not of the kind they were usually accustomed to.

Not cited.Good pun!

You said it quite a while ago. Possibly last season. It certainly is not a lie. It was such a ridiculous comment, that it stayed with me. You make so many anti-mccaw, anti-kiwi rants, how could you possibly remember them all?

Well Pk, clearly the "offence' is wedged in your mind, so it's quite safe, it's completely alone in there.

I am truly outraged with this decision. It is like a cross between the Congo Free State genocide and Tony Abbott's radio wink - a massive scandal.

Pretty much nailed it. For mine so much of what's now cited is just incidental to rugby that it's bordering on ridiculous. If a player is put in serious danger, i.e. danger beyond what might otherwise occur within the rules of the game (lifting tackle, high-shot, gouging etc) then of course there is a case to be answered but things like "lifting the knees", or borderline "striking" charges and in particular half-cocked tackles with insufficient use of the arms (see Arg v Aus in the quarter final) should be sorted on the field. If the ref sees no need for a citation and someone cops a knock, well then I would just say that's part of rugby.

an awful lot of straw men being set up regarding this

And knees a Wales player. No problem. After game yellow. What the.......Not even a slap on the wrist.

The uproar caused such a stink that the citing commissioner had a quick view of various footage, applied snickometre, and concluded flatulance led to Lowe being repelled sevely. Tests later showed he still had significant amounts of methane in his system

This is a complete NON STORY the so called journalists that tried to taint him with this should be held accountable. If anyone of you had of watched the slowed down blown up footage you would have seen his HIP hit his shoulder as he ran past. Yes McCaw pushes the boundaries like any world class Openside does, Pocock does, Hooper does, George Smith did it on the same regularity as McCaw. BUT in saying that I have NEVER seen him cheap shot anyone hell I haven't even seen him retaliate when he has cheap shots against him. This is absolutely ridiculous and I can't believe it even made the news, should have stayed on social media where it belonged.

Right because a hip brushing a shoulder is a cheap shot *rolls eyes* have you even watched the showed down, enlarged video or are you just trolling?

He sharpened his mind by narrowing it

It appears anything to rack up the 'click baits' will do Billy G, even if it is completely fabricated!

Dan sounds like a closet All Black supporter. Love the wallabies... No one believes you when you say that.
