Fase triggers an international incident …
Although not talking to Horizon media it appears that Fase (the Wasps coach) has been talking quite liberally to the North London Gazette. In his unprecedented outburst he has sparked an international incident, he is quoted in the NLG as calling the French team Stad Francais;
“ … a team of snail grubbers and surrender monkeys!”
Nicolas Sarkozy the French President contacted Gordon Brown to relay his disgust with the comment which he says disrespects the great French cuisine! Sarkozy has labelled the Wasps Coach as a racist and it seems clear that this issue is not going away … Wasps can expect a hot reception when they visit Paris for the return match!
But he didn’t appear to stop there as he is also quoted as saying about the Horizon studio pundits;
“Personally, I’m not interested in the biased opinions of those who can’t hack it anymore.”
The Stad coach was also labelled as a whinger and the officials came in for abuse throughout the short article. All in all we suspect someone from the IRB will be contacting Mr Fase fairly shortly!
In less controversial mood Fase mused on the rest of the season …
“At Wasps, there’s plenty to play for throughout the remainder of the season. Next week’s return for Saracens is obviously a crunch match and I’m sure that both teams will be well motivated.”
Let’s hope he still has a job when he visits Stad Paris … our pundits will be there to greet him!
