    Tom English wrote about this and there are quotes from the sru. I also don’t believe it has been done in any of the recent rugby games either. For whatever reason.

    Tom English made a very poor attempt at backing them up where he would have absolutely destroyed Celtic or any other football team had they done the same.

    There has still been zero clarity over it, suggesting it was just a ‘slapstick comedy mistake’ doesn’t wash I’m afraid.

    Ok, well we can go for “private school middle class” then, as an assumption for why.

    literally just highlighting what I had read (after looking into it because I also want to know) and stating an opinion, but lesson learned.

    I stated my opinion was an assumption, if you read my post.

    As I say, the SRU must provide clarity and calling it a jokey mistake isn’t going to cut the mustard about such a sensitive concurrent global issue.

    No issue with someone taking the knee. No issue with someone not taking the knee.

    Forcing people to do it is counter-productive and the whole thing has turned into a bit of a farce.
