Thankfully, English rugby has Danny Cipriani to keep the press occupied, and a very good job he does of it too. He's progressed from dating celebridies, to cheating on them, to being blackmailed by strippers - quality stuff.

Re: Replacement 10
I can only speculate. Accordingly, I will speculate, with as much as no appropriate knowledge, that no local would take on such a fragile case, especially with some hints of ............... nah, maybe best not to say anything about previous.Kofi Annan wrote:Toby Hedworth QC, why bring in a prosecutor from england !
Having speculated wildly and with zero inside knowledge may I just add that
Indeed it is also pertinent to say, I don't believe her. I could be wrong of course, but I don't and it's not favouritism, I simply don't buy what I've heard. As I say, every possibility that I'm wrong, it's happened maybe as often as half a dozen times over the last six decades. Just a personal opinion.

Not commenting on the lack of coverage in the press over thonder, more that the case will be lower profile for a QC from there than here.big mervyn wrote:Standard anti NI bias by the Lahndahncentric meedya, although I'm sure the LR2 won't be complaining.

Re: Replacement 10
I know of at least two things that have been withheld, I assume there may be more but of course, not for discussion here.

Baggy, do we know anyone who could knock us up a full size Fleg like your one above?
