In that very British way, the legal weasels [because they are always weasels] of the RFU are serving notice on a Sir Clive Five of coaches for helping out with the boys at those pre-tour bondage sessions. Seems to me the RFU wish a NZ victory in the test series before he departs to Southampton FC. Shame on HQ, shame. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/international/4526497.stm
"Woodward hurt by RFU Lions stance Sir Clive Woodward Woodward said he was "not surprised" by the RFU's actions Lions coach Sir Clive Woodward has vowed not to let the Rugby Football Union's attitude towards the tour derail his plans for victory.
The RFU reportedly sent letters to five England coaches warning them against devoting too much time to the Lions."

So Sir Clive is getting a taster of the appalling arrogance that characterises English rugby.
