Howley nuovo CT Italia 2020

[Garry]

Hamilton aveva aggiunto qualche dettaglio.
Cotter aveva chiesto civilmente ed educatamente chi non se la sentiva. Alzarono famano solo in tre (o quattro, non ricordo - ricordo che uno di questi era Gray) e il simpaticone aveva ordinato proprio a loro tre di farlo.

Un imbecille

[Garry]

Eccolo qui, con tanto di particolari granguignoleschi e sangue dappertutto:

Hamilton explained: "Vern [Cotter, Scotland head coach] was sitting there in full outdoor hunter gear – big jumper, walking boots and he's got a knife.
"He said: "right lads, we've got four hours, we're cooking this for dinner, who doesn't want to kill the rabbits?"
"Richie Gray puts his hand up, along with Ross Ford, Stuart Hogg and another guy. Vern then old them: "right, you four are killing the rabbits!"
"An army guy at the camp pulled out this bunny rabbit – it's not even a wild rabbit – and says: "this is how you need to kill it."
"He's swinging this rabbit round with one hand, then next thing he slams it on the floor. I'm not joking, the thing's eyes popped out of its head, then he cuts his throat.
"So the boys had to go and kill the other three. Richie is spinning this thing round and he's saying that he can't slam it, and Vern shouts: "f***ing kill it!"
"Richie does it, but it's not dead, it's shaking like mad and there's blood everywhere, and he's slamming it over the head with a stick.
"Needless to say, the rabbits didn't taste that succulent – they were a bit tough. But that's all we had for food, with 35 baguettes."
Elisa Allen, UK director of charity PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) said in a statement: "Turning rugby players into killers won't improve their game, and to call it 'unsporting' is an understatement.
"Crushing the skulls of rabbits and slitting their throats are terrifying and agonising ways to kill these sensitive, intelligent animals, and such violent acts may be illegal in France, where this cruelty allegedly occurred.
"PETA is calling on authorities to investigate and also asking the rugby league to take immediate action to put a stop to any further 'training' with animals'."

Non scherziamo, non so se per il cosiddetto mondo civile questo sia sufficiente per influenzare la scelta dell'allenatore.
Però non raccontiamo storie, anche se il tempo diluisce tutto e fa pure calare la nebbia

Per me è più che sufficiente per qualificare una persona, per gli altri, non credo.

OT: Ma quell'"addestramento" lì lo faranno anche i reparti speciali italiani?

E gli altri giocatori? Solo Hamilton ha tirato fuori la storia o anche altri hanno confermato?

[Adryfrentzen]

Sì ma pure se lo facessero i sayan o il mega reparto neutronico cinese che kezz c'azzecca col rugby?
Per capire un attimo se davvero ci capisco dentro poco

Tra l'altro qualche giorno dopo c'è stata una marcia indietro da parte dello stesso Hamilton: https://www.irishtimes.com/news/offbeat ... -1.2749119

Hamilton dampened down the claim saying he got “carried away”. In two tweets, Hamilton said: “Guys, my comments on recent podcast shouldn’t be taken seriously. Got carried away, certainly no rabbit slamming or orders to kill!

Non solo, sembra che anche Hamilton abbia in parte esagerato:
"However last night Hamilton seemed to backtrack from the events on his Twitter saying that his account of the rabbit deaths were exaggerated."

Niente, è la classica tendenza a divagare del forum.

Eh infatti. Però vedi che quando ti hanno attaccato un'etichetta addosso poi è proprio difficile toglierla.

[Garry]

Noi italiani dopo Berlusconi dovremmo essere abbastanza abituati alle "marce indietro".
Per me Hamilton si è solo accorto di averla fatta grossa, per il polverone sollevato. Il suo racconto mi sembra troppo ricco di particolari per poter essere archiviato come un malinteso o un'esagerazione nella foga del racconto.

Certo capisco anche la retromarcia, è una cosa da farti togliere il saluto da tutti i compagni di squadra

Certo, del resto sarebbe il primo ad aver raccontato di aver pescato una balena quando invece era una semplice trota.

[Garry]

Siamo tutti un po' pescatori.
Questo intendi dire?

Mah, io non mi sento pescatore

[Big Lebowski]

No. Intendo dire che Hamilton in questo caso può essere stato pescatore. Visto il casino emerso ha ritrattato e ha ammesso che la balena in realtà era una trota.

[metabolik]

Il passaggio di Crowley dal Treviso alla Nazionale è proprio da escludere ?
