A joke or a serious offence!?
Would that be allowed in the work place or in public? If not, why should it be acceptable as a joke on a professional playing field.
Some serious questions to be asked.

Indeed. That was sexual assault. Would Brian Moore find that funny like the other pundits? |  |

Tickled his manhood and was caught in all its glory on camera.
Gareth Thomas then makes in my opinion a crude joke about it all..... Virtually condoning it all. | |

I don't mind him, he does put it on a bit but making a joke about doing something like that is out of order.
When I played if anyone did that they would end up with a broken nose.
Never liked that cvnt marker, he typifies england raa raa, very arrogant. | | | |

Marler had always been an oddball |  | | |

It was as weird an incident as I've seen on a rugby pitch. The authorities obviously take it seriously as the upper end of punishment is a 4 year ban! My suspicion would be that they'll cite him and punish him at the low end of the scale which starts at 12 weeks, but some journos are pushing the narrative that the authorities will want to make a point on this kind of behaviour and will throw the book at him.
I doubt Alun Wyn Jones would even contemplate doing so, but what would be fascinating would be if he decided to make it a criminal case. If there was CCTV footage of someone doing the exact same thing on the High Street, it would presumably be an open and shut case. |  |

Something along the lines of, that if that happened when he was still playing then he’d never have retired.
I thought it funny myself. | |

Ah yeah but he’s public enemy number one on account of being gay. Not that people care about that of course. No siree bob. Imagine if he’d called it a sexual assault that Marler should be charged for. They’d be up in arms about that then. | |

Marler has never been the full shilling, has he? I read a comment supposedly attributed to him this morning that made me laugh and sounds about right.
“I love Al to bits but he does take it all too seriously. Tickling his balls seemed like the thing to do.”
Rugby has always had mad characters. It would be a much poorer sport without them. | |

There's some nonsense that goes on at lower levels but this was at the highest.
Some the initiation ceremonies............
I just hope AWJ keeps his pecker up. | | | |

Do you people have a daughter? Think about what you are saying here.
If my daughter came home saying someone had grabbed her... I would be livid. There can't be one rule for one and the other. | |

But it was sexual assault was it not!?
You can't be blasé about it.....how would you react if it happened to any of your children. | |

No, it’s not Sexual Assault.
It’s covered by s3 Sexual Offences Act 2003. In order to be guilty, it has to be shown that : -
(a)he intentionally touches another person (B),
(b)the touching is sexual,
(c)B does not consent to the touching, and
(d)A does not reasonably believe that B consents.
Now, a,c and d is made out. Issue is with b. It would have to be shown that Manler’s intention behind the grab was sexual, as opposed, to eg wind him up, which, i think was the case.
He’s a dick and deserved a slap, but it’s never sexual assault.
Thought Gareth Thomas’ comment was really funny. |  | | |

Funny, but misplaced? Not the sort of thing a pundit should be saying live on TV, given he could have spun a documentary out of it had another pundit said it and he's d been "obliged" to laugh at the comment? |  |

Fair point but I guess it depends on the context in which you see what happened. I thought AWJ reaction to it on the press conference was extremely well balanced. He basically said that Joe was a good bloke, he didn’t react else he’d have got a red card, he’s surprised the TMO didn’t see it and wants World Rugby to have a look. | | | |
