Head coach James Webster said: "I thought we were really courageous, but well done to Toulouse who I thought were outstanding in the first 20 minutes. adidas superstar kids white Bosch scored four minutes from time at the end of a maul to make up for dropping the ball after also crossing the try line a minute earlier. adidas superstar kids white I think so. I think the comment the other day … the tone-deaf response and using the P-word as banter [in Yorkshire's report]. There is no way that the P-word in a dressing room can be used as banter. I just want to broaden this out. The whole point of doing this [interview] is that we have been there and we have experienced the situation. We have been in county and international dressing rooms where it is 'open season' on everything where you are slightly different. Whether you have ginger hair, you are slightly overweight, shorter than the rest, you have a bigger nose than the rest, you know that it is open season and the banter, mickey-taking that goes on in that dressing room. But I think there is a line that you cross, that at some stage someone has to say 'hold on that is not acceptable, we don't do that in our dressing room'. Whether it comes from the individual who has been racially harassed as Yorkshire have admitted and he says 'don't say that to me'. That is quite difficult to do because you want to fit in, you want to be part of the mickey-taking, everything that goes on and you don't make a stand. Whether it be a team-mate who stands up and says don't say that to him, whether it be a captain that says it is not acceptable or a club and this is why they [Yorkshire] messed it up the first time when it actually happened. No one had the guts to stand up and say we are not doing this in this dressing room. They messed it up for years after by not picking out people who used that terminology and they are still messing it up now when they had an option to say we have changed and we will not accept this sort of behaviour. They continued to mess it up and almost by Yorkshire saying that it is just banter they are sending the message all the way through their age groups that it is okay to say 'you lot' and that corner shop must belong to your uncle and things like that. They are sending a message that that sort of mickey-taking is absolutely fine. It is not. adidas superstar kids white That is why I said it should be good for both sides; for the club and the player. Because what has been lacking so far is honesty and transparency. I hope the questioning is rigorous but I hope it is fair as well because the MP who called Roger Hutton to the inquiry the other day seemed to slightly pre-judge matters. What you just want is open, fair and rigorous questioning so that the truth can come out because as you say the innuendo will be hanging over every player and every coach who has been at Yorkshire. I think for the good of the club and for the good of Azeem Rafiq the truth needs to come out.NH: adidas superstar kids white
