Rugger buggers are a bit odd on the whole.

Not a clue who he is. Not really bothered either.

Sure he didn't deserve I be "verbally abused", especially by an old man!

Even if he does have linked to wasps.....

This is him for those in doubt. He has got some stick in the papers and behind closed doors from a lot of fellow pro rugby players for his exploits on social media.

He is the wasps captain and a good player but humility is something that he has lost in more recent times as 'brand Haskell' has become a thing in his mind.

I went to the start of the protest but then moved away when it came a bit yobby with random chants as Nigel took over as spokesman for the cameras.
Could have been worse as the man with the large belly volunteered to be spokesman but was quickly brushed aside.
Went past a few times as they went around the top by the car park entrance and it did appear to be out of place and unorganised.
Followed a coach I'm advised around the stadium.
Lots of other fans saying it was pointless. Lots of kids around in the Olympic village would be a little scared.
I guess if 2 random protesters gave me some abuse I might react the same. I guess he was there for the olympic event.

This is James Haskell

I'm struggling to imagine any of our lot attacking him. Could he possibly be playing it up so he doesn't look bad?

Does anyone know what was actually said? If it was something about Wasps being a London club that's fair game really and I would expect a more reasoned reply.

I know football fans can get upset when they have a go at someone and then get it back but if this was one of our players giving it back it would be a big deal, don't see why it should be any different just because he plays for Wasps.

I saw the moments before this by the sounds of, Haskell was walking outside near the casino entrance about 2:00 he looked like he was on his way to the small car park infront of the casino (He actually looked like he had 1 leg as was in a massive knee brace where his leg with his bad foot was kneeling on the brace very bizarre) he was asked by some lads very politely for autographs to which he obliged I didn't see any more after this but he certainly didn't look like he was on a mission to draw attention to himself, I would imagine someone gave him some stick & he put them back in their place.

I like Rugby, Haskells a love him or hate him character and as he's a Wasps player im not his biggest fan but in the seconds before this incident happened when I saw him he didn't look like he was on a mission to wind up football fans he was just wanting to get away.

All rugby fans and players are the same, think they are better than footballers. It's acceptable to have a punch up on field but it's all ok because they call the referee sir.

I am a football fan and a rugby fan. I have played them both. Should I think that I am better than me ?

I think he means those that are just rugby fans, there was funny thread on drunkenwasps not long after wasps moved in, moaning about the football fans not knowing 'rugby etiquette' and trying to educate them. Also a lot said they didn't want football fans attending wasps games.

tbf, I actually thought it was quite fair given his (well-known ) views, suggesting a SISU Out protest was a bit shambolic meself.

Some samples (these being amongst the worst, I'd stress many are OK either appreciation for Haskell turning up to meet kids or just saying be cool & ignore the abuse). To be fair worse things are said on this forum at times.

Some strange comments on there from some obviously strange people, footballers will sit there and sign autographs but a bit difficult to do when most are playing today imagine if an English international was sitting there the room would have been packed just to see him and the one who says that's why his kids won't play football mine are the opposite and will never be allowed to play rugby far to dangerous.

Rugby...gentlemans sport? Fuck off.

Eye gouging, spear tackles, punches, stamping. I fucking hate it when there's this 'holier than thou' bullshit. Fans might be better behaved in the stands but the players can be a hell of a lot worse than footballers and get no where near as much flak over it.

Rugby is a terrible sport played only in ex British empire countries plus a few others. Let them be bitter about the best sport in the world.

Problem with rugby is that as players set fitter and stronger in the professional era there are more serious injuries. Now an ex player is suing Sale over them not protecting him after he had a head injury. The game may have to change in order to ensure it can still be played as a top entertainment.

See I think there are a few Rugby people who think they are superior, & some who like football pretty much equally. Most are between the two...& some of those play with the football fraternity...some of who take no notice at all, some who laugh it off & then there are the few footy Dan's with a huge chip on their shoulder who are incensed by it.
