*Rugby is somewhere parents know kids are safe *Where rival fans sit together *Where coaches join fans in the bar after games *Where players call the ref "Sir" *Where they hit lumps out of each other & shake hands after "Be kind"??? Rugby, more than anywhere, IS KIND!

Defending a ruck on your own line? Mauling? A 6'7 lock tackling 5'7 scrum half? Someone rapidly changing direction to run at different defender? Just a few of many such scenarios Of those people at the RFU who voted, when was the last time they played a game? Have they ever?

Good job there isn't relegation this season. If Bath went down all that temporary seating (they've had for years) might mean they wouldn't be allowed back up to the Prem. Because the criteria are critically important, right?

No, you cannot go to a rugby ground, outside in the open air, even with attendance limited for safety. Go to a pub to watch it instead. Much safer. After all, the jobs connected to rugby, the mortgages and meals they pay for, nor the sense of community clubs bring is important.

RFU moving tackle height to waist from next season from level 3 down: They've just created 2 different sports. For "player welfare"? Those affected are AMATEUR, not physical mutants as in pros, engaging voluntarily as they might horse riding, sky diving or skiing. Farcical.

So, in summary, £800k of the salary cap breach is due to a valuation of Itoje's image right being inflated by 100%. The incorrect valuation made by one of the World's biggest and most reputable Accountancy firms, who Prem Rugby employ as auditors of the salary cap. #Saracens
