"No team wants to play boring rugby, but everyone you come up against at international level is good opposition and that makes it harder. No-one cares about how you're playing if you're getting results. The result is the priority, the performance is number two. That's rugby, that's the way it always has been and that's the way it always will be."- Mark Cueto
Looking like Joel Tomkins to Saracens could go through as early as next week. What stood out for me in a recent article were Wigan chairman Ian Lenaghan's comments.
"I’m not worried about rugby union," said Lenagan.
"It irritates me that they are able to pay more to get players, but look at the phenomenal losses they are making. If I was an owner losing millions of pounds I’d be concerned. They are in a mess financially and we are stronger than that."
From the New Zealand Herald:The BBC reports that the IRB are privately stunned and shocked and considering what action to take against Wales. Faking injuries is treated as an extremely serious offence. But Welsh Rugby Union chief executive Roger Lewis said Gatland should be praised, not admonished for his admission.
"Warren Gatland should be applauded in this professional era where tough things and tough decisions are made that he didn't go into that particular zone," said Lewis.
Priceless!
