Munster Players severely reprimanded
Munster players Doug Howlett and Rua Tipoki have both been fined and
reprimanded by the Munster Branch on foot of an incident that occurred
during last Saturday's HEC Final in Cardiff.
The incident took place mid-way through the second half when Tipoki
sidestepped a Toulouse tackler and made a break before passing the ball to
Howlett who would have scored a try had the pass not been adjudged forward
by male model and part-time referee Nigel Owen.
"Both lads are well aware that Munster Rugby does not tolerate any of our
backs attempting to play running rugby," explained a visibly annoyed Munster
PRO Pat Geraghty. "Earlier this season, Brian Carney was excluded from our
HEC Squad for trying something similar and it is completely unacceptable for
highly paid recruits from the Southern Hemisphere to seek to disrupt the balance
of the team by attempting to play such an alien brand of rugby."
"From an early age, every aspiring Munster back is coached to run straight into the
nearest opposing player before going to ground and setting the ball back so that the
forwards can take over. That is the Munster way - as known and admired throughout the
world - and we're not going to allow a pair of glory-hunting blow-ins to damage our image."
"Munster Rugby would like to apologise to the many supporters who were
shocked or offended by this shameful incident," added Mr. Geraghty "I have already been in
touch with Toyota and have assured them that this aberration will not happen again.
"Our fans can rest assured that Doug and Rua have been warned that any repetition of this
unacceptable behaviour will have very serious consequences for both of them."

Yes, as a Munster man I must say I was shocked and appalled at these frequent and frankly unwarranted attempts at so-called 'running rugby' *snort* Utterly outrageous and I hope this will bring a quick end to this unseemly affair...
Howlett and the rest of his upstart NZ girly-boy buddies had better wise up or ship out back to Canterbury. Who told them to overstep their role of looking decorative and hanging about smoking fags in the backfield!!..I blame Kidney for this dangerous innovation....
I mean what next? Pink shirts and cocktails?...Down with this sort of thing!!!! Sometimes men, the price of Victory is too high....*munches hang sangich, forlornly rubs life sized bronze replica of Bull hayes' head. while looking whistfully into the middle distance*0 -

Thought it was quite funny myself. Just to balance things out, here's the same joke but this time taking a pop at Leinster.
Leinster Players severely reprimanded
Leinster players Ollie Le Roux and Stan Wright have both been fined and
reprimanded by the Leinster Branch on foot of several incidents that occurred
during last season's Magners League and Heineken Cup.
The incidents took place throughout the season when Le Roux and Wright
consistantly played what is known as 'up the jumper rugby'.
"Both lads are well aware that Leinster Rugby does not tolerate any of our
forwards attempting to play anything but running rugby," explained a visibly annoyed Leinster
PRO Tarqinn Coughlan-Baker. "Earlier this season, Juan Gomez was excluded from our
HEC Squad for trying something similar and it is completely unacceptable for
highly paid recruits from the Southern Hemisphere to seek to disrupt the balance
of the team by attempting to play such an alien brand of rugby."
"From an early age, every aspiring Leinster forward is coached to run straight into the
nearest opposing player before going to ground and losing the ball back so that the
backs can take over and intercept and run the ball from our 22. That is the Leinster way - as known and admired throughout the
world - and we're not going to allow a pair of glory-hunting blow-ins to damage our image."
"Leinster Rugby would like to apologise to the many supporters who were
shocked or offended by this shameful incident," added Mr. Coughlan-Baker "I have already been in
touch with Bank of Ireland and have assured them that this aberration will not happen again.
"Our fans can rest assured that Ollie and Stan have been warned that any repetition of this
unacceptable behaviour will have very serious consequences for both of them."
