Calling the coach a traitor is fucking stupid - it's just a game, and you wouldn't get to play without an opposition team to play against. Australia's team had the right of first refusal and already fired the guy, so it's not like Australia's going without because of his decision.
The fan shouldn't be fired for being an asshole, but I think there is good reason to ban him from games if you don't want people in the crowd shouting that the other team is the enemy.
It’s such a cop-out, and so salty (sorry, Grumm), that I reckon only an Englishman, or a New Zealander, could have written something like that, in response to this, lol…
Or maybe Japanese?? I know Eddie Jones went and coached over there after we sacked him the first time, so… Eh, who knows. But anyway, yeah, I agree with you!
If a professional men’s international rugby coach cannot handle a sledge this tame, from his own countrymen..? And then threatens to actually fight the guy? And THEN tries to have the person’s life destroyed, only to be enabled by both RA, and the guy’s work colleagues..??
I consider that pretty fucking pathetic, IMHO, lol…

I completely disagree.
It’s a sledge. Sledging is part of the sport.
Rennie (the Australian coach) may well get the same when he goes over to NZ for a game, and so be it.
The coach is only paid the money he is because fans, like the one involved, pay big money for their membership, and tickets.
Jones is a thin-skinned twat. Take the insult like a man. Shrug it off and ignore it.
Fuck this line of thinking that calling him a “traitor”, or even a “flog”, is worthy of any sort of ban.
It’s called being a professional sports coach. They go low, you go high.
If you cannot handle the crowd sledging you, especially with something as mild as this, in a game against the old enemy, when you win anyway..?
Then you should damn well get out of the spotlight.
Nothing about this is morally ok, from Jones’ reaction onwards. So no, I completely disagree.
Pissy much dude
Must be English, I reckon! 😂
