This whole outcry about Wane's pre-match talk at the WCC really is beginning to annoy me. As many have said, similar sentiments are conveyed every week both by rugby league and rugby union coaches, professional and amateur. Emotive and exaggerated language is used to gee up one's players and get them into an aggressive frame of mind. Nothing new at all - rugby has always been a very physical game.
I am not sure how many on here have ever seen the Sky reviews of the Lions Rugby Union tours - they tend to show them late at night every so often. The sentiments expressed and swearing in these videos is just as bad if not worse than anything Wane said. Listen to Jim Telfer (coach), Martin Johnson, Brian Moore and Dallalgio amongst others f...ing and blinding, " smash the f...ing c...ts, rip the ba....rds' heads off, break their f...ing legs" etc etc and - and some of it said by some surprising characters -Jerry Guscutt and I think even Jonny Wilkinson could be heard effing! This is what happens in a rugby changing room - it may offend people, but it happens!
This holier than thou attitude of some posters, particularly several Saints and Wire fans, on here is nauseating and simply hypocritical - or maybe it just reveals they do not know and understand as much about the game as they think........

Excellent post.
I don't suppose you'll get much response though because deep down they will know you are right.
