Coconuts. Headaches. Ope!

Thing is, they aren't kidding!

Sad to see World #rugby capitulate to the blatant unfairness of #England's #OwenFarrell who again parked his shoulder in someone's face.

He's had to attend so many tackling classes and still he's a danger for his opponents on the field for all the wrong reasons.
