In the wake of the Jan-Hendrik Wessels case, Harry Jones and MW Welman decided to take a breath and bring you A Considered Reaction. When the fallout feels more legal than rugby, you need a lawyer’s cool head and luckily Harry is one.In this episode of The Lekker Rugby Pod, they unpack what really happened in the Wessels hearing and why the process has left so many rugby fans uneasy. Was this true justice or a farce disguised as fairness? From language barriers to procedural confusion, they dissect how rugby’s disciplinary system may be drifting into courtroom chaos.They also revisit the Josh Murphy appeal and ask whether rugby’s growing reliance on legal frameworks risks killing the spirit of the game. They challenge whether World Rugby has the courage to step in and protect the players, while examining the need for clear evidence and due process before reputations are destroyed.It is not outrage, it is reflection.
