Her coach wanted her to put "more bite" into her game. She didn't understand the instruction. Couldn't she use the millenials' favourite: I made an error of judgement.
Totally agree. Biting an opponent is just about as bad as it gets - there is no place for that in sport, let alone for the captain of an Australian team.
The penalty is incredibly soft - be interesting to know what it would be if it were in the men’s competition and does this now create a precedent of what can be expected
This is deeply concerning for me. The Women, who have been a stand out have just faulted. This is now something that requires standards to make up the character fabric in the Wallaroo Jersey. Irrespective of the penalty issued by the judiciary, this is a high range act of foul play! It clashes with the very principles of the game and for the leader of Australian Women's Rugby to have committed the offence is damning. I get brain explosions on the field in a rugby match, god knows I have been there! But, her Captaincy is basically untenable. RA has a new bushfire to contend with.
