Tournament organisers have confirmed they are investigating an incident in the first-half in which Lee can be heard on referee Craig Joubert's microphone being called a 'gypsy boy'. |

What was the vocal emotion? If used as an insult it was wrong. On the other hand, if it was said to describe him rather than give his number, it's up to Sampson to decide if it was insulting. Is that how he is referred to, with his consent, amongst the professional Rugby community? |

Ah - right. From the wording of the OP, I thought the Ref had said it. That would be quite unusual. |

It's a storm in a tea cup......everyone knows what some players mutter to their opponents to get a reaction. |

Begorrah! I'm looking forward to St Paddy's day on Thursday - so I am! And I'll enjoy a glass or two of the Devil's brew in his honour - so I will. :-D |

Unfortunately, I think there is uproar over too many pettifogging things these days. Am I allowed to say 'pettyfogging'?? :-D |

It's not what you say it's how you say it or more specifically maybe how the term has been used in the past? |

oh dear Bob - you were right!! what you said was correct - the true Romany gypsies are nothing at all to do with the itinerant scrap collectors who infest our streets and nick anything they can lay their hands on |
