Why the outrage over Steve Hansen "helping out" the Wallabies? Rugby as a professional game is a business and Hansen has skills for the marketplace. The issue is the use of such terms as assisting or helping out- why not just say he is on a short-term contract? If he is doing it for free then do some journalistic digging and then say so. If not, he is being employed as a contractor. NZ still really hasn't got a proper handle on professional rugby- hence our NPC shambles.

For those of you following the Owen Farrell card debacle, here are some of the legal bits which may be relevant... The initial complaint The complaint was made pursuant to Rule 9.13: 9.13 - A player must not tackle an opponent early, late or dangerously. Dangerous tackling includes, but is not limited to, tackling or attempting to tackle an opponent above the line of the shoulders even if the tackle starts below the line of the shoulders. The decision Red card dismissed. The disciplinary decision (linked in the comments)   The revised appeal This decision has now been appealed. (Press release in the comments) The relevant provision of Regulation 17 is as follows: 17.24.2 (c) World Rugby has a supervisory jurisdiction in respect of disciplinary matters under this Regulation. In the event the Disciplinary Officer determines it is appropriate that a particular decision should be appealed in respect of International Matches, where there is no appropriate hosting body for a Match and/or where the disciplinary regulations for a Match are clearly contrary to Regulation 17, the Disciplinary Officer or other nominee of World Rugby may take such steps as are reasonably necessary to review the matter and make such recommendations to World Rugby as the Disciplinary Officer deems appropriate. The Disciplinary Officer (or other nominee of World Rugby) may appeal the matter and such right of appeal shall be exercised within 72 hours following notification of the decision to them. Regulation 17: (linked in the comments) Full disclosure, Ireland are playing England this weekend and I am Irish. I therefore reserve my opinion! #Rugby #barrister #discipline #redcard

What can you do with just 2 clubs? A whole lot, it turns out. Here are the two clubs I took to the range this morning 👇 1. Sand wedge (56 degrees) 2. Pitching wedge (48 degrees) I worked on shots from 4 distances: - 50 yds - 75 yds - 100 yds - 125 yds Regardless of how long you are off the tee, getting comfortable hitting multiple shots with these clubs will do wonders for your game. #golf #bestadvice #socialmedia #business

Ben Hogan demonstrates the similarities of weight shifting to the lead leg when throwing a ball and the golf swing. Notice how the elbow moves close to the hip and the hands trail then the club. #GOLF #benhogan #weightshift #golfswing #golftips #golfcoach #swflgolfcoach

When most people think of Potters Bar, they think of a traffic hold up location on the M25 or the site of a major train crash. Famous people who lived in Potters Bar: 1. Tony Jacklin, golfer, assistant professional at Potters Bar Golf Club, winner of both the Open at Royal Lytham St Annes and the U.S. Open at Hazeltine. Ryder Cup captain from 1983-89. 2. Acker Bilk, clarinettist. 3. Terry Lightfoot, traditional jazz player. 4. Johnnie Wright, the 1948 Amateur Boxing Association British middleweight title holder, silver medallist in the 1948 London Olympics. 5. Glenn Taylor (John’s son) who was Captain of the England Rugby Union Colts XV.   What Potters Bar is famous for (other than the M25): 1. ‘Bloodbath at the House of Death’ film released in 1984 featuring, amongst others, Vincent Price - the only occasion he starred as a comedy actor. 2. ‘Digby, The Biggest Dog in the World’ -released in 1973: circus tent erected in a field opposite 204 -210 Barnet Road; internal shots in a house opposite ‘The White Hart’ in South Mymms. 3. Two murders at Potters Bar Golf Club, one of them infamous as ‘The Murder of the Seventeenth Tee’ in the late fifties. 4. Train crash on10 May 2002 resulting in seven deaths.   My good friend John Taylor, approaching four score years and ten decided to write a book about his thoughts and personal memories from the end of the war to the beginning of the century about Potters Bar and the surrounding area – a very interesting and amusing read. He approached me to help him take his manuscript from ‘Creation to Publication’. If you want a copy, there is a link in the comments. #localhistory #books #writing
