For example a few years back there was less than 10 red cards awarded in an entire season in Connacht rugby between adult and age grade rugby so if there is that few reds then there is also few brawls.
what PR people have been hired to down play incidents and care to show how "scuffing" is encouraged in rugby?

Replying To mod: "Of course RTE have an Anti GAA agenda. Any scuffle is immediately highlighted by rte news as well as sport prog which is fair enough but there are similar bust ups in rugby which are always ignored. Why the difference?" What similar bust ups in rugby and which are ignored?
There isnt tv cameras or people dont send in videos from rugby games,
if rte were being sent on a semi regular basis fights in rugby games involving spectators, subs etc then they would of course show them but theyre not sent in
even with that and taking into account less matches there is far fewer incidents in rugby

there was a season a few years back in connacht where there wasnt 1 red card in the entire season which is how many hundreds and hundreds of matches.
how is scuffing encouraged in rugby and who are these PR people hired to talk down any scuffles in games?

Similar bust ups which involve management and supporters like many of the incidents in GAA?
At what levels and what games have these similar bust ups happened?

I like rugby and the fanboy RTÉ thing is not their responsibility. Indeed I recall O'Gara laughing at that Kenny fella when he put a Munster jersey over his suit on Late Late years ago!
However, there is no doubt it exists and during the lockdown there were no calls for rugby to be stopped. Oh no. And yet one well known TV and radio presenter ran a poll with the clear objective of having our championships banned.
And endless radio fretting about a few lads in Cork and Waterford and elsewhere having the audacity to celebrate winning county finals out in the peeing rain and wind!

Rugby is professional so no games means players out of work/losing work. Completely different to GAA though which despite all the work put in by players, coaches is not these peoples full time careers.

There is far more incidents in GAA of crowds getting involved, brawls etc. For example a few years back there was less than 10 red cards awarded in an entire season in Connacht rugby between adult and age grade rugby so if there is that few reds then there is also few brawls. what PR people have been hired to down play incidents and care to show how "scuffing" is encouraged in rugby?"

If you want an example of how both codes are treated differently here's a recent example . Mountbellews players and management were castigated , both in print and on social media, for their behaviour after their Connacht semifinal most of which was justified in fairness . Bundee stepped out of line at the end of the Leicester game a couple of weeks ago and 'while it was relatively minor in comparison to the Mountbellew game the reaction was entirely different, as he's a gentleman apparently.

Completely different situations and Bundee was criticised and came out immediately unprompted and apologised.
None of what the mountbellow players or managerment did was justified regardless of what mistakes the officials made

I was partly messing although you do appear to seem to believe that the IRFU and rugby chaps in general are a bit ahead of us in most things.
At least no one has looked forward to your passing!

Different circumstances. Bundee issued an apology immediately off his own back. did the same happen with the mountbellow players? No.
and what happened with those players and coaches meant they deserved the treatment they got in the media
Its very different when its multiple people and when its coaches and players(think there were 7 or 8) involved
