Please inforce a life ban on the players, so that at least the game we love so much will be safe for our future players from caruption.

what the hell is happening ? now it's rugby ... isn;t there a guideline for all players about medicine/prescriptions ?

i am sure the SLRFU will wash their hands off and pass the buck to the clubs or the individuals.
