There comes a point where being seen to do the right thing flies in the face of common sense. Last weekend, it arrived when rugby union's Paolo Odogwu scored a wonderful try in the corner for Coventry's Wasps, before staying scrupulously distant from his teammates as they swarmed to acclaim him.

By the book, the winger's reaction was correct, but it scarcely counted as a public health imperative when every player had spent 80 minutes barrelling into seething, sweating mounds of bodies.
