What Rory, like players who call to the back of the line out a dozen times in a row in a howling wind with a 6'7" giraffe on the opposition and the ref showing he will penalise crooked throws.

In the match programmes the vast majority of players list Hendy as the smartest player on the team!

My oul granny would've called simple variations instead of all the movement in the line outs that just effed it up even more.

Good old fashioned, two straight up if all else f'n fails, we didn't try it once. Sure you get nothing but static ball but at least you win the f'n ball :banghead:

One inch more and he would be officially classed as a giant. I read somewhere that would qualify for disability benefit in the South.
Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.

Not necessarily bigger players, but there is certainly a lack of power in carrying, and also a lack of genuine quality. The recruitment policy allowing that to happen is v poor over several seasons. Against any quality side we lose, the pack isn’t good enough, until it’s sorted we won’t win anything.

It used to be automatic, if you were over X or under Y.
