Video - Unheard of moment of madness sees Augustine Pulu get a talking to from ref
By Ian Cameron
Counties scrumhalf Augustine Pulu does not like fat post pads, especially when he's trying to defend the line.
As we all know if the ball is grounded at the bottom of the posts it is a try, and such an endevour would be made all the easier if the pads are extra fat.
Pulu takes matter into his own hands and removes the obstacle. Did he think the ref wouldn't notice? Did he just want to stop play? Is it even illegal to tamper with pads during a game? This incident has left more questions than answers.

(I don't actually think England should do this, given Chessum, Itoje, and Martin are so good. I guess CCS could be the fourth choice lock, and an injury crisis at lock could see CCS, Curry, Underhill, and Earl all on the field at once).

England has to be Grandad [for everyone!], but a bit of a Bad Santa and not always loveable.
I am not convinced that they would not gain more from a potential tour win in 2025 with all of their players involved than by withdrawing them and saying 'se ya in 2027' though.
The French national team was cut a huge amount of slack by LNR to prepare for a home RWC in 2023 and look how that turned out. So I am not sure French self-interest leads in the same direction as Galthie thinks it does.
