Hall of Shame
There Will be Blood (2009 Rugby Bloodgate Scandal)

What A Day -- what’s happening, why it matters, and what you can do about it.
Rachna is going to need Rachel to grab a tissue and apply pressure. It’s the quarter finals of the 2009 Heineken Cup. The Harlequins are up against Leinster when their star player, Nick Evans, gets injured and benched. But lucky for The Quins’ Rugby director, there’s a very specific blood rule that allows teams to circumvent substitutions rules. So when Harlequin’s full-back Tom Williams starts profusely bleeding on the field, the timing seems a little too good to be true.
