Welsh rugby is finally getting over the post-golden generation slump

“When we played South Africa, we were equally as good, if not better, players on an individual skill set level. But in terms of physicality, they were way better than us and it showed in the final result.”
This has been the case in just about every post-isolation Test we won against NZ, France, Australia, or Ireland

Wessels testified that he tried to throw Murphy off of him
For that action his movement was not unnatural
Unless you choose to believe Murphy ( who got a te card (but no ban!) for punching Wessels in the head
In fact, the Wessels case shoukd be less clear because Murphy had obvious reason to lie, unlike Coombs
Replying to @moi_pseudo
The argument in the Wessels case is that it is an unnatural movement for a person on the floor of a ruck to move his hands towards the groin of an opposition player in the ruck. While a hand in the groin is common enough when making a tackle/ruck clearout/maul
Yes, there is more clearly hand near groin here
Argument in JHW case was Josh Murphy would never lie and there might have been a hand near groin
Both cases are not enough for a ban in my and your opinion and I’m sure you made these most sensible arguments then too
Unless you mean they are nothing alike because the accused was not Irish then yes you are right
And from here it seems to be the dispositive factor
Would be shocked if there is a single South African that disagrees with moi
While half of Ireland appears to disagree with vous and want the perp banned for life in this case
People are biased, who knew
Except moi — serenely objective

Yes, the JHW and Coombes cases are not identical — there is more clearly hand near groin here
Argument in JHW case was Josh Murphy would never lie and there might have been a hand near groin
Are Leinstermen calling Coombes a liar?

If a billionaire’s goal is to foster social cohesion and cause the greatest joy for the greatest number of people, on a utilitarian calculus…
then there is no better way to spend his money than bringing back our best rugby players and coaches for the noble cause of kicking French and Irish ass
To be clear:
Not in favor of witch hunts or bans without proof beyond reasonable doubt (and for mine giving little weight to victim statement , for reasons), benefit of the doubt and all that
But salty salty salty about JHW still so sue me
