RUGBY WORLD CUP : ENGLAND FINED OVER ‘BARB’ STAND AGAINST NEW ZEALAND'S PRE-MATCH 'HAKA' !
TweetTHAT BRAZENFACED SMIRK FROM ENGLAND CAPTAIN OWEN FARRELL, STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF NEW ZEALAND'S PRE-MATCH CEREMONIAL 'HAKA' - - WITH HIS TEAM ON A DEFIANT V-SHAPED LINE 'BARB' STAND FLANKING HIM - - PRELUDES IT ALL, HOW THE RUGBY WORLD CUP SEMI-FINAL CLASH BETWEEN THE TWO GIANTS WOULD PLAY OUT IN HIGH ELECTRICITY AND DRAMA.
THE SMIRK - - WHICH HAS GONE VIRAL - - SYMBOLIC (TO SOME, ICONIC) OF ENGLAND'S DEFIANCE AND RESOLVE AGAINST THE DOMINANT 3-TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS, ALL BLACKS, - - IS NOT ACTUALLY THE ISSUE.
THE ENGLISH TEAM'S V-SHAPED LINE ON SMIRKING OWEN FARRELL'S FLANKS, HAD CROSSED THE HALFWAY LINE - - A MATCH RULES VIOLATION, PROMPTING A FINE.
THE SMIRK WAS FAR MORE HAUNTING THAN THE "LINE" VIOLATION, NO DOUBT.
AND THE FINE ?
IT'S ABSOLUTELY IMMATERIAL.
