Police delay leaves Sale uncertain when Jonny Hill can play again

Sale have outlined they are still in the dark at to when Jonny Hill might be available for selection again. It was June 1 when the out-of-favour England lock got involved in a post-game altercation with a fan at The Rec after Bath had beaten the Sharks in the Gallagher Premiership semi-final.

Director of rugby Alex Sanderson recently revealed that Hill was due to visit police on September 16 and there was optimism that a line would finally be drawn under the matter.

However, heading into next Friday’s round three home game with Gloucester more than 17 weeks after the incident took place in the main stand at Bath, Sale remain none the wiser as to when Hill can be selected to play for them as the police investigation – which will be followed by an RFU disciplinary – has not yet concluded.

    “We have no clarity on Jonny with regards to the exact date he is going to return because it’s still with the officials, the authorities, at the moment and we have to wait for whatever judgement passes down from them,” explained Sanderson at his Tuesday afternoon media briefing in Manchester. “The guy who is supposed to be dealing with it is on annual leave.

    “I have to take deep breaths and accept that it’s out of my control and out of Jonny’s at this point in time. It’s not like we’re not chasing it up. We have got barristers on the case and have had since the start of this. It’s just a long process that is not conducive to professional sport.”

    Why Les Kiss and Stuart Lancaster can lead Australia to glory

    “Explain clearly how that’s not an achievement?”

    It is an achievement. It is less of an achievement than he managed with Barcelona. You said that ”He has gotten better with age. By every measure.” He hasn’t. Doesn’t mean he isn’t still extremely good though!


    ”I thought you don’t care what certain managers did 10 years ago…”

    are you really this incapable of understanding the context of what I’m saying? My point is that Gatland was a good coach ten years ago, and isn’t a good coach now. So what he did ten years ago is relevant to whether he was good ten years ago - that is pretty basic stuff.

    On the other hand, what Les Kiss did ten years ago isn’t relevant to how good he is now, just as what Gatland did ten years ago isn’t relevant to how good he is now.


    ”So you haven’t watched even a minute of Super Rugby this year?”

    I was replying to your comment, given you have the memory of a goldfish and are unable to scroll up, I’m remind you what you said:

    “Ireland won a long over due slam in 2009. The last embers of a golden generation was kicked on by a handful of young new players and a new senior coach. Kiss was brought in as defence coach and was the reason they won it. They’d the best defence in the game at the time. He all but invented the choke tackle. Fittingly they backed it up in the next world cup in their 2011 pool match against… Australia. The instantly iconic image of Will Genia getting rag-dolled by Stephen Ferris.”
