Please inforce a life ban on the players, so that at least the game we love so much will be safe for our future players from caruption.

Did the miracle doctor treat them?

sanjeeva lokuge Friday, 03 June 2011 09:47 AM

what the hell is happening ? now it's rugby ... isn;t there a guideline for all players about medicine/prescriptions ?

i am sure the SLRFU will wash their hands off and pass the buck to the clubs or the individuals.
