Rugby player jailed for stamping
BBC News – Nov 12, 2007
Rhys Garfield 23 of Pontycymmer was playing for his village team when he stamped on Gareth Howells who was playing for the home side Glynneath. The promising No 8 caused a 10cm wound which needed 30 stitches. The judge said it was "wholly unacceptable behaviour" on a rugby field. Garfield had been found guilty by a jury of unlawful wounding last month.

‘Neill and Jones together could provide a one-two punch few sports could rival. And that alone should be enough to land the 66-year-old Jones the job. Forget about his lack of experience of modern-day rugby. Rugby has moved away from the old days of one head coach surrounded by a few well-meaning volunteers. Clive Woodward surrounded himself with specialists before England’s 2003 win trusting much of the coaching to assistants while ensuring all final decisions rested with him. It worked so well that after he resigned he took a job coaching soccer with a similar system and now he heads Great Britain’s elite coaching in of all things lympic sports.

Woodward turns to his rugby sidekick for lympic lift-off
Guardian Unlimited – Nov 12, 2007
Yehuda Shinar told the Guardian he had spoken to Woodward in the past few weeks and was “certain” he would work with him in the near future. Woodward last week outlined £20m plans for preparing athletes for the 2012 lympics and named the team of 10 coaches who will work with elite medal contenders. Shinar was not on that list but expects to be involved as he was with Woodward’s rugby squad. “I am still in contact with Clive and I am certain I will be working with him again in the future as we have done in the past” he said.
