Hume continues to slap the chest etc. which imo is a juvenile display of uncontrolled emotion and p#sses everyone off.
He seems to think he's Sparky. All that whipping up the crowd stuff. :roll: Best way to do that is to deliver on the pitch.

Next season will have to look after itself.

Re: Dragons Pre Match Q&A with Jonny Petrie

On VAT I would very much like to know what he’s talking about - apart from anything VAT is levied in Ireland as well.

Four of those seven conversions were from the touchline.
The Dragons lad missed a shocker.
