Description: A man reads a newspaper running a headline that says 'IRB crackdown: mouthguards, now Bible wrist bands.' The man smirks as he imagines the IRB (International Rugby Board) gagged and a rugby player marching off defiantly saying 'Player approved mouthguard!' Context: The IRB has come down heavily on players wearing unapproved mouthguards because of the fear of ambush marketing. Samoan brothers Manu and Alesana Tuilagi have both been handed $10,000 fines for wearing the unapproved OPRO branded mouthguards during the tournament, breaching the event's terms of participation. The IRB is again under fire, this time for a directive on Bible passages written on players' wrist strapping. Words written on the tape must be approved by the IRB in advance also because of the possibility of ambush marketing. (NZHerald October 19 2011) Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
