Absolutely disgraceful behaviour here by the heavies in the mixed zone at Lille.
I have been physically removed during a Sunday paper interview with man of the match Henry Arundell, while I was speaking to him.
This World Cup has been an utter shambles @WorldRugby #RWC2023

Hearing that World Rugby will appeal the Owen Farrell decision.
No word on when the new hearing might take place but presumably has to be before this weekend.

Sorry to see Scott Wisemantel leave England rugby coaching staff. Brought sunshine and smiles to an often intense set-up.
