Sacre Bleu!! I bet The French weren't expecting that.

OK, so now we know England arn't going to win the rugby world cup. So why not relax and play with a bit of flair. Win a few friends instead.
I'm right there with you, we entered those turbulent waters nearly a year ago. I'm passing my quiet dotage and dodging pans by retreating here...Quote:

A good plan there G, take and hold the high ground!
That's a great refuge. I ike refuges with an alternative exit for just the reasons you've cited. I can still run a bit too, so I'd have a head start. The only problem is that on your dash away you'll hear those immortal and universal words - "you've got to come back some time!"
Yeah, but you've got two refuges and a field full of potatos to sustain you while on the lam. I'd imagine you could hold out for some time.Quote:

I have heard an ugly rumour that the French front row is going to be be beefed up by Kiwi waitresses who apparently have a few scores to settle. :smilewinkgrin:
I know the feeling well from the footie.Quote:

Even England's off pitch scandals are boring.
I shall be watching the Rugby League Grand Final at Old Trafford on Saturday as an antidote.
I used to play Rugby Union at school - and pretty much despised it, even though our Games Master was Mervyn Davies. But I found myself watching some Rugby League game on telly a couple of months ago and I thought, "Hang on - this is a much better game than the other one..."
I remember Mervyn Davies and when he had the brain problem and had to quit the game. I used to like the internationals, but I was brought up on league.Quote:

Now you don't get the big fat forwards you used to get, but these really quick athletes who are also built like the proverbial small room.
It made it a much better game.
The talk of rugby league is interesting in the intellectual sense. In Scotland we can appreciate the merit of knocking seven bells out of our opponenents until the sixth tackle when one gets the relief of a two second breather and one never has to think for five seconds on the point of the game.
Eddie Waring may have influenced our attitude :

Give me good old kick and clap anyday. To Mick, I can see why you are getting weary of the game but I think this is more to do with teams closing down the opposition out of fear of losing , rather than playing the expansive offensive game which we all love. If England, and it is a big if, lose the fear and play as they can they have the talent to go all the way.
The trouble with kick and clap is that there is no room, you can't see the ball, you can't see what's going on, you can't tell why a penalty is given, or why a scrum is re-set 4 times. The whistle blower IS the man.
England's tactics are to have pile-ons laterally across the pitch untill they are awarded a penalty, when the sainted Johnnie can step up and collect the points. The wingers are practically redundant, just trotting up and down the touchline for an hour and a half.
Do they have the talent to go all the way? They have yet to show it.
Now paul, I know you're a little worried about the procedures of prostate cancer screening, so here's a short film that may help with any issues you may have.
