Any Private Eye readers here might want to turn to page 20. (Or If you're in a super market go and have a look or buy a copy)

It isn't often the sport makes it into this bi-weekly and it isn't good.

STREAMING BLOOD

RUGBY union's governing bodies have been hastily changing the sport's rules to protect players from head injuries in the face of 300 lawsuits from ex-pros. But it seems a new Netflix series didn't get the safety memo.

(Cont.)

Just highlights the glorification of the violent side of the sport at a time we're trying to reduce injuries.

You can generally ignore much of the criticism in the mainstream media but when it appears in Private Eye it is normally a sign that you are doing something very wrong.

If only more people took more notice of them (witness the Post Office scandal) society would be a much better place in my opinion.
