Sexual assault?

that's the first thing that came into my head when I was watching. Not sure anything will happen but it's wholly inappropriate, not exactly how a role model should show kids how to behave.
Of course it is.
ITV showed it and they were all giggling and making light of it. After all, it's just high jinks.Quote:

Question is, many will be outraged and will the IRB feel pressurised into action?
I was going to say typical rugby antics but then I remember vinnie jones twisting gazza by the bollocks with the refs back turned some years back
Its assault , no different from kicking someone in the balls , but I dont think theres a sexual motive behind what the england player did , unlike a boss groping his secretary's breasts
That england player should be banned for a period for that , thats serious foul playQuote:

I bet you if he is charged with anything by the police it will be assault and not sexual assaultQuote:

I'd be inclined to agree with you there. However, what if he bats for the other side? :sherlock:Quote:

I dont think weve heard the last of this.
Of course. But it is sexual assault.Quote:

Oh tidy, I'll just laugh it off then.
Classic outrage here.
They are Lions tourists and no doubt friends. In the middle of the pathetic handbags he jokingly tickles his mates cock as to emphasis that none of them can actually hit each other but all they can do is grab and push. I bet there was kegging and worse going on when on tour and the same goes on in football.
So what.
Alfie diffused the situation in the studio.
I'm not outraged.Quote:

And this this sort of thing happens daily within all sports across the world daily.Quote:

Should he have is the question? Lots happens on a rugby pitch that doesn't in normal life but surely this is up there with having hands around someone's throat as something that should lead to punishment wherever it happens. Degree of punishment to be discussed at later time.Quote:

Can't really suggest there is a "rugby brotherhood", or whatever the PR nonsense is, if "hijinks" is used to diffuse something like this.
Who said anything about outrage?Quote:

Would you be happy with someone grabbing your cock in your workplace?Quote:

Jones has asked the incident to be looked at
It clearly goes against world rugby code rules which say grabbing or twisting the genitals is foul play and starts with a low end punishment of a 12 week ban
Fuss over nothing. Just the way the world is going these days.
That would entirely depend on who was doing the grabbing.Quote:

Yeah. The old Eddie Jones double bluff.Quote:

That said, the game could have been very different had that ball tampering incident been punished.
And potentially could have had another in the sin bin during the first half if referees ever bothered to punish FarrellQuote:
