Wasn't even that bad. Something you'd probably get more of a verbal warning over than a penalty?

Here's an idea, how about we stop letting coaches and players run onto the field seemingly at will just because they don a water carrier bib? Let the ball boys and girls run them on at designated water breaks twice per half and then there's no possibility of this happening and we can speed up the game again. Every single break in play the 'water carriers' come steaming on. Fuck them off out of it.

I don't believe that the level of the comments is the issue; it is that coaching staff feel entitled to come on to the field almost under false pretences and mouth off to the referee. There has been a significant increase of this in the last 3~4 years and is one of my biggest complaints.

GRUMBLE GRUMBLE GRUMBLE

That's not especially fair. Clearly he's put a lot of effort into piling on the weight post playing days, so feel free to call him an arrogant shit, but not an arrogant 'little' shit

For me, this is the troubling bit.
“Blue nine high tackle, our staff are saying it, blue nine high tackle.”
So he's putting pressure on the ref on behalf of Gatland. It's not a solo run.
