This is a real ground breaking legal precedent that @anon78624367 is advocating here which will have consequences far beyond rugby and in all walks of life. Never again will anyone be bothered by small print and those annoying old terms and conditions.
Heās a scummy soccer man. Remember the Irish football team wanted to be the 33rd team at a World Cup after a refs decision went against them. The micks hate rules.
The scummy soccer crowd were laughing at the prospect of Ireland getting knocked out of the tournament by a typhoon a few weeks back. Now theyāre all fired up for Justice for Scotland rugby and Sergio Parisse.
Im only really interested in the rubby. I wouldnāt be au fait with the minutae of world rugby aadministration and all the rules and regulations attaching to the running of a global sporting event like some lads here.
Would you know dan would the scots have signed a contract or anything with these conditions around cancellation included?
Perhaps all future Rugby World Cup-related broadcasts and news reports should be accompanied by Sean Moncrieff very quickly reading out the terms and conditions like on a KBC ad
In fact Iād argue the soccer team wanting to be the 33rd team at a World Cup because the ref got a decision wrong was the most single humiliating moment in Irish sport. Up there with the Olympianās that failed drugs anyway for sure.
Nearly up there when Waterford Crystal lost the gold medal I was on holiday in Spain at the time and the embarrassment I felt then was off the charts. I nearly felt like telling the locals I was a tan. I still shudder when I think of it.
