Strange gamesmanship

| Readers 1

Some readers may have noticed an absence of any mention of sport on Slugger for a while. The latest omission being the fundamental lesson taught the Irish rugby team by the English last Sunday.

Call it sour grapes if you like, but we have chosen to pick up this story from the Irish Independent on the strange behaviour of the England captain immediately prior to the start of the match (which caused something like a 7 minute delay). The unconditional apology of the English Rugby Union afterwards was perhaps our only compensation of the day.
