Betting on rugby in the way he did is surely self destructive? Almost if he wanted to get caught.

Very sad end.

Humour in the Title? I know, it's a typo, but it made me laugh ....

Blimey.. using his WRU phone and email account.... is this how he was rumbled.. someone within thr WRU comms team  noticed what was happening.

Just saying.

Had thought that but didn't put it out. Although not sure how good he actually is when surrounded by Gats and Edwards

I thought this yesterday but was afraid to post it! We do rehabilitate folks in a bad place. I bet he would put in a shift. Well apart from Andy Powell.

Prefer if we were looking at a few other ex-wasps, doubt Rafa could be tempted from his new job but maybe King and Worsley could.
Howley doesn’t seem like the sharpest after this, although this does feel like a cry for help using his own account etc.

Sadly his name in Wales was mud before this. However, he clearly has something the Welsh public do not appreciate- whatever he does he will be damned in their eyes. On a personal level this is sad, he is flawed. Who isn't? There is no suggestion of skullduggery, of match fixing, just rule breaking. A massive ethical divide exists between the two.
I have always thought him to be a bit of a scapegoat for the Welsh press, and frankly I think he offers more than anyone here gives him credit for. I hope he deals with his betting issues and comes back stronger.
