Confrontation and tension on the awards game Italrugby ‘Bring It On’ – ANSA.it

The Italrugby the ball. Between the Federation and the players the voltage is high. The standoff is the decision of the FIR that has lowered premiums, tying them to results and not the mere presence in the national team.

VERSION OF THE FEDERATION
No financial settlement, and the Blues rugby leave the training camp ahead of the World Cup. With a dramatic gesture of protest players they refused to take the field and returned home, after the Fed has lowered premiums, tying them to results and not the mere presence in the National Assembly. The National Rugby was on retreat in Niederdorf in Alto Adige, for pre-season training ahead of the World Cup to be held in September in England. “I am disappointed by the attitude taken by the athletes – said the Federal President Alfredo Gavazzi – not so much for the situation but because this decision denotes unwillingness to invest on their sporting abilities.” The friction between the federation and the players were under way for a few weeks, after the Federal President Alfredo Giavazzi had announced plans to revise downward attendance fees in national, reducing them and integrating them with a prize game further. Decision due to the results not very satisfactory the last games at international level, with the Azzurri finished in 15th place in the ranking. But the players did not take it well. Attempts to settle the dispute have not gone well, hence the decision of the Azzurri not to participate in the training, rather than return home. Very upset that the Fir on the site claims to have federal “took note of the intention expressed by the players not to take part in the training and not to wear sports equipment FIR until reaching an economic agreement.” The Fir adds that this “does not change the will of the Federal Council – fully shared by the staff of the National Team – to reach a financial settlement with the players based not on the mere participation in international windows but on concrete meritocratic principles related to performance. Principles, as already stated publicly by federal leaders, will be the basis of all future agreements between FIR and the national team athletes. A final proposal has already been submitted, in these terms, the representatives of the players. “

VERSION OF THE UNION BLUES
“It was not us to go away but the managers of the Fir declared the dissolution of the gathering by inviting us to leave” is the tough stance of the players’ union rugby via Facebook that speaks of “declaration inveritiera Fir”, about the alleged abandonment of the withdrawal from the Blues for the failure to agree on premiums. “Sensational statement inveritiera the FIR – reads the profile of Fb SPIN, the union” Players of Italy Rugby Associati “- as players were all presented at the rally and will remain in the rally. At this point, who has assumed the responsibility of make a statement detrimental to the honor and dignity of the sport of 40 national athletes of rugby, will assume its responsibility in front of the organs of sporting justice and ordinary, “it said in the statement piqued the rugby players. “The truth is completely different: this morning the players have requested a meeting with the President Gavazzi, who has denied for personal commitments. Given the overall situation, the leaders of the Fir declared the dissolution of the meeting by inviting the players to leave . However, to turn over the situation in their favor, with order to leave given to players has been released a statement that, as mentioned, has represented the facts in a manner different from the truth. This fact, came an invitation to Calvisano ‘address a delegation of rugby players: in other words, before it is shot against the Blues and then is stretched their hands. ” “It is true, rather – continues the statement – that no agreement has been reached between the National Rugby and Fir. It does not refer only to the issue of compensation, but also to all the other issues already put on the table negotiation. The conditions for the success of the expedition in the World Cup in London, therefore, are bad, and you do not see the edge fence-mending. Everything Parisse & amp; co. are asking for is just a reopening of dialogue and a meeting in person with the president, who seems to have, however, more meaningful commitments. Send them all home, then, is the nice way of dealing with problems, and even “better” is the tenor of today’s press release Federal. That at least is the use ‘intellectual honesty to present the facts clearly. There are no words, “he said the union in another post made it known that” FIR has informed the club that players sourced from tomorrow are available to them (so if they do not have the training they risk sanctions) and communicated to the hotel in Villabassa that rooms must be freed. The hotel has therefore invited the players to leave the apartment not later than midday. In the face of the abandonment of the meeting by the Blues. “

THE REPLICA OF THE FEDERATION
” The position of the Fir is that expressed in the press and at the moment there is nothing to add. “he said the head of communications of the Italian Rugby Federation on the suspension of the withdrawal of the national team decided by Fir after the failure to agree on the economic rewards for the World Cup. The position was reiterated during the press conference to present the Cariparma Test Match between Italy and Scotland, scheduled on August 22 near the Olympic stadium in Turin, race preparation for the Rugby World Cup in September 2015 in England. “We are delighted to return to the stage as prestigious the Olimpico in Turin, who in the past has supported the National heat – said the President of the Fir, Alfredo Gavazzi -. As our practice, we wanted to reach out to families and young people with a ticketing policy aimed in particular to involve the Under 16 “. Two price categories of tickets: 25 and 35 euro, special discounts for Under-16 and ‘Blue XV’ 20:28 euro.

Malagò, yes to awards based on the results
” Absolutely agree to establish the prizes according to the results ” : the CONI president Giovanni Malago commented from Baku, the suspension of the withdrawal of the national team of rugby after failing economic agreement on premiums for the World Cup. ” The thing is clear – he added – I read agencies, There are two versions, but I do not hide behind a finger, ever agree to establish the prizes according to the results, not for the rugby but in absolute for all the federations ”. ” Then of course you have to understand What has been said before – continues the # 1 CONI – that there were commitments. As line consideration is not wrong, it is clear that if there are different expectations, whether they were taken several commitments that I honestly do not I know. We expect to throw fuel on the fire and see if everything falls into the logic of common sense ”. ” At the time – continues Malagò – I spoke with Alfredo Gavazzi (president Federugby, editor’s note) of the subject that is true not only for rugby but also for other federations. I think there is an issue linked not only to the present but to the result. It ‘a matter of common sense’ ‘, concludes
