I’ve been banging on about this guy since the season started. Last July he beat his girlfriend on the street. Got off conviction because it would ruin his rugby career. He’s now representing me.

I’m just disgusted. Fucking disgusted. Women are rugby players punching bags in NZ.

Rugby can fuck off.

I disagree with you, Kiwis do care!

I did a bit of a browse Jessica and found this article which does condemn the attitude of NZ sports organisations when it comes to women.

Also this article on what sounds like a very good programme for rugby players at all levels.

A provincial rugby boss is taking the brave step of revealing the very personal toll domestic violence has taken on his life. South Canterbury Rugby Football Union chief executive Craig Calder spoke for the first time about the abuse inflicted by his father at the launch of New Zealand Rugby's (NZR) Te Hurihanga programme in Wellington on Monday. The programme aimed to educate players across all levels on healthy relationships, domestic violence, child protection, sexual assault, consent and bystander responsibility, while building supportive environments to "positively shift attitudes" within our national game.

It's a bit depressing though to google 'domestic violence and sport and nz' and find articles going back years on how the behaviour of some sportsmen towards women has been excused ... because careers might be damaged etc.

Yes I saw that a while ago. The All Blacks removed that article link from their YouTube but left misogynistic slurs.

I really hate Kiwis today. This happens because ordinary kiwis do not care

There is this article JessicaWakefieldSV, but note that Brad Lewis is only suggesting that Sevu Recce should not be included in the All Blacks this year, not that he should be permanently excluded.

I doubt it. I commented on a recent All Black video about it, they insults I got. The victim herself was trashed on their channel, lies being told. Nobody gives a shit. NZ is a disgusting cesspit of misogyny and violence.

Jesus, that’s awful

Is there any push back in NZ over this?
