the RPRA jumped the gun with ordering the rings and not getting the members feedback/opinion and are now backtracking to appease a few over the removal of the lugs which in turn means they aprove of ring tampering!
Other unions have seen the problems and IMO are right not to allow rings which have been tampered with.
I realy don't understand all the fuss, how many will be left at the end of the season to worry about and will it realy effect anything?
