Chris Wilson Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 One of the two leading experts drafted in to advise on whether traditional rugby should be banned in state schools is a Professor Eric Anderson. Professor Eric Anderson is an expert in tackling young men: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ds-youths.html A fine expert to have, I am sure he has middle of the road views on all young males and playtime https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/images/smilies/smile.gif Maybe wants his future young male conquests to be unmarked like a choice apricot.

JordanC Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 It'll be a great idea, future English players won't know how to tackle properly and we'll win the 6 nations all the time! woohoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I saw this yesterday morning on Sky News. I had to double take. I could not believe what they were proposing. Why not just wrap everyone in cotton wool in the maternity wards and be done with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I saw this yesterday morning on Sky News. I had to double take. I could not believe what they were proposing. Why not just wrap everyone in cotton wool in the maternity wards and be done with it? Last time I mentioned that about new members someone instantly took a dislike to me and my posts and said I was bullying. In a few years, you'd be classed as a bully for playing proper rugby :/ This world has gone nuts, people are getting soft and this is probably just the tip of the iceberg. They've already took away British Bulldog and conkers from kids. I will say right now, my son will not be raised a pussy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 rugby as it is atm is a joke , the scrum is just a total waste of time and an excuse for the ref to show everybody hes in charge and has a nice comanding voice. plus the time taken to actually take a penalty (kick at goal) add all that up and youll be lucky if they play 40 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 They have been working on raising a race of wimps with no common sense for some time now...sad times. And are you serious about conkers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsia Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 My little brother's school has already banned rugby for the kids there, the parents (understandably) are furious, especially as my brother absolutely loves the sport, which he's now being told is too violent to play at school. Madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annabella Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Just more of the politically correct brigade going forward, erasing male identity, blokes haven't got a clue what to do/behave like. The schools are also afraid of being sued if little johnny gets seriously injured, so lets ban it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 We are in a time where the teachers are scared of parent evenings and not the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_GT Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I think there are more pressing issues in this world than the banning of rugby in schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Maybe it's racist playing English rugby. That'll be the next excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
