      My mistake- I thought some other players had joined fans in the public gallery

      The IRFU could have asked/ insisted WJ not to blab to the press. If there is a rugby establishment maintaining privilege and the rest he's pretty close to its apex as one of Ireland's oldest and most respected ex-players. Not a 20-something on social media

        I was unaware of this "incel" movement, prior to the Toronto incident. Fucking hell.

            Jesus. The reason you're not getting any, lads, is nothing to do with society.

                More background in this set of Twitter posts (with links)

                This has been going on for years, and is beyond distressing.

                      Oh yes. Is he likely to face jail? I’ve a terrible feeling he’d get to spend the appeal out on bail as well.

                        American justice is weird. They don't cart you instantly off to jail. Well, they probably do if you're not famous, but he will appeal, it will take a couple of years, and he will die on the outside.

                        I hope the women take all his money. (I assume this will mean a civil suit/case?)

                          Meanwhile, in Spain, controversy has arisen after a gang known as La Manada have jailed for 9 years for sexually abusing a woman, whereas a charge of gang rape could have resulted in a sentence of 22 years. A contrast has been made with the Alsasua case, where Basque teenagers have been held in custody for almost two years already over a bar-room brawl:

                            So criminal justice is like Italy in the States if you’re rich. Shocked.

                              Yeah, but these were good Castellano boys. 2 years without trial? Fucking hell (though I believe something similar has occurred in Darkest Northern Ireland to some alleged ‘ra head).

                                    Hopefully there will be mass boycotts until the stinking pair are dropped. Doubt it but, be plenty of shite about them being found innocent in a Court of Law (Not guilty is far from the same thing legally as innocent), plenty of Hammond who will think sport and off-field unseemliness shouldn’t mix. Hurry up and kill yourselves you rapey bastards.

                                    Hope to fuck there is a civil case against Jackson especially.

                                          It now appears they were interested but the main sponsor said no.

                                              Stuart Olding got a contract at some french club. I think it was Brieve.

                                                Brive will be in the second tier next season.
