He’s still the head honcho by whatever name you prefer.

Do you have a comment on his slightly deranged behaviour?

Yeah I think he is reflecting some scrutiny from the actual head coach and the players. I feel he is keeping the attention on himself to allow them some space.

Jose Mourinho did this well at times to shield his players.

A 62 minute rambling monologue? Coming on as the water boy?

I can’t say I can ever remember any EPL manager doing that.

Cheslin card could have been red. Am try was a knock on, Itoje knee on Damiens neck, Hogg biting Willie, Duhan card could have been red.

Whatever is making these men behave like this? Are they unaware of the consequences, or don't they care?

Rugby players are always pushing boundaries, every game has its niggles.

Consequences of doing things like biting or performing dangerous tackles, for example.
The biting is ridiculous. But Lions so maybe not totally unexpected?

Tackle technique is a critical skill. One would think it's fairly straight forward to see an attacking player, adjust tackle height accordingly, wrap arms and boom, legal tackle.

But these guys are shifting, changing direction stepping off either foot, handing off defenders and critically altering their angle of attack and height. It's very easy to get it wrong...
