Was it ever true that the Barker 1st XV halfback of 2019 had an earpiece in his headgear that was connected to the coach? Pretty sure it was nothing more than a rumour made by students of other schools who were discontent with not winning the Premiership that year, but I've never had anyone clarify if this was absolutely false or conversely a concealed truth. Supposedly it was looked into after a Barker coach was seen blatantly 'speaking to himself' on the sideline, with no one around him, in which it was so noticeable onlookers assumed it couldn't just be self talk but rather was likely to be associated to the black earpiece (unlikely for a 1st XV coach to be at an age where a hearing aid is needed) that was in the coaches ear (shown in Barker Rugby videos from that that year and 2018). From what I heard the CAS Board was going to strip them of that title but clearly on the CAS website it is still there, so it probably was just a rumour.
This is not a troll, but a genuine and legitimate question, coming from a GPS spectator who is unbiased in the CAS.
