Charles Piutau

[BR]

It's a lot harder to be on TV these days, wot with them being so thin now, but I like the look of Charlie's natural balance.

You're making life difficult for yourself Grumps. Just rotate the TV 90° and stand on the big, wide flat bit. (Added bonus - one less functioning TV in the world)

Not that there ever was a doubt, but the post match reaction of CP last night speaks volumes about the man's character. To do a solo lap, signing autographs, selfies, high fives, fist bumps and all the rest, tells us exactly how well we have recruited. We were all expecting or hoping that Marcel would be that rarest of commodities, a leader of men, but we could have two. He appears to be a giver.

Charles is good n all, but can he do it on a wet, cold and windy night at the sports ground?

[Dharper]

I would imagine he can....NZ weather can be worse than Galway.

[scrum5]

It's not like Coventry is the Med either.....

His skill set is on a higher plain than what we're used to, so yes it will drop on a cold and windy night at the sports ground? so will everyone else's but he'll still be head and shoulders above everyone else

Stunning offload for the last try. No doubting he's a special talent. Nick Williams used to add a bit of x=factor so hopefully Charlie can light up a few Friday nights this season. Shame our pack isn't up the required standard as the backline looks scintillating on paper.

That's not really him. He didn't come.

That's not really him. He didn't come.

Probably his brother.

How could they not recognise Ron'nspeak?

Ron'n will be waiting awhile yet before giving his approval.

I hate that quote

Lazy Sunday. I've just watched the entire game again on YouTube, and aside from Le Mis and Chewie's totally unbiased and very funny commentaries, it was worth it just to watch CP and his fantastic skills.
He's worth the price of a season ticket on his own, but we've big Heh-You, young Lyttle and all our regulars to make the prospects for the coming season, absolutely mouth watering.

He's worth the price of a season ticket on his own.

true. Cornerfleg has been telling us that for ages now

I'd watched him for wasps last year and was worried he'd lose a bit of form, hard to play like that all the time etc etc. But you can see from how he plays that he was just born to play this game. Did he miss/fall off a tackle? Did he feck!! He's a superb tackler and Gilroy and Payne could learn a thing or two from him.
