That's a hell of a fine for a club like Timisoara. They'll be doing a bag pack at Tesco's this weekend to raise some cash!

Just a thought.... if those attending could be persuaded to chip in a fiver each on Friday, they could be half way there for a charitable donation.
Or pound a try for Edinburgh....

It was Adamson. That story seems like a total one-sided hatchet job though.

Strong fishy smell in the air if what I read is in fact true, but surely all options required should be confirmed long before the fixture is due be played, i.e.. alternate venue, if the French club are involved in underhand doings I hope the Quinns annihilate them.
This brings rugby down to football level.

This happens even at club level in Scotland and the referees are put in a no win situation. It could have been Nigel Owens, Wayne Barnes or Mike Adamson it wouldn't have mattered because as soon as one team (usually the away team) says it is unplayable the ref cannot make the other team play.

Where the level of experience of the ref may have made a difference is in communicating with ERC and an experienced opinion may be listened to more than a fairly new ref at that level.
