Today is World Aids Day. Always a time to sit back and think. How we are all either infected or affected. And why we do what we do the way we do it. By all being somehow implicated, it means we are all in it together. And due to that we must all find a way out together. Just reminiscing on last year's post on the same day, quite a bit has gone on since. That post covers it quite aptly and I'd encourage us to read it once more.
As part of the changes that occurred in rugby, the introduction of the "blood bin" was first misused, then approved and now it has been abused. Reference here is to the "bloodgate" scandal the shook the rugby world to the core, opening up a nasty can of worms that nearly brought the reputation of the game to its knees. What this reveals is that whereas rule changes are for safety and enjoyment of the game by all, people will always try to work round them for personal or other gain.
Mine today however is just to remember all those who ail with Aids, those who care for such patients and continue wishing those working to come up with some cure or vaccine God's speed on this journey. And in the same way we do not discriminate against those afflicted, let us not discriminate for any other other reason, be it race, gender, colour or club!
Have a blessed week.
