IRB urged to review disciplinary process

THE organisation representing Ireland’s professional players is seeking an urgent International Rugby Board review of the sport’s disciplinary process.

IRUPA (Irish Rugby Union Players Association) boss Niall Woods yesterday voiced concern at the levels of inconsistencies.

“Players have grown exceedingly frustrated and disappointed with the continued inconsistencies in the application of disciplinary sanctions,” Woods claimed. “That concern is not just in Ireland; it is worldwide.”
