Sports Letters: Time for tough action
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I was truly shocked to see and read of the horrid injury which P de Glanville sustained in the recent rugby match between the All Blacks and the S W Division. And I am nearly as shocked to learn that the English Rugby Union are apparently satisfied with a proffered apology from the tourists' management.
It is time the game's regulators took a firm hold of the actions necessary to prevent such ridiculous and savage behaviour as stamping, even if such action involves criminal proceedings, and even sudden cessation of tours.
As an ex-player of many years, and one who revelled in the glory, speed and toughness of the game, my appetite for watching the All Blacks is finally dulled.
Yours sincerely,
DR ROY ADAMS
