The more I hear about the effect it is having on grassroots rugby, the more I agree with you - and many others - that he should stop it and re-think. In the interest of sportsmanship I do believe he should stop the arm raising and finger pointing. It's entirely up to him if he wants to continue the swallow diving. In certain circumstances, say, scoring the winning try in a tight game or scoring a brilliant try in any game then after scoring celebrate as you like. It is a contentious subject, there are many supporters of the hand aloft and finger pointing, it will be interesting to see what he does next. Jeez, what a stuffy game rugby union can be!

Guscott, who picked up a mysterious injury just before Wigan played Bath in the cross-code games? Guscott, who called in at ASDA Wigan during a charity walk and demanded free food, drinks, socks and boots for his fellow walkers and himself? Who when told no then uttered that immortal line 'Don't you know who I am ?'?

As for the bloke worried about Chris Ashton's method of try scoring corrupting his child...

Just sign Danny Brough and be done with it all

I cannot wait for the day Ashton drops the ball swan diving over the line. Hopefully it'll be in the 79th minute of the World Cup Final, with England 2 points behind. That would be bloody hilarious.
