A Lot of Old Balls



Our young Hooker,James Hall has all the making of a
front row. Here is the evidence.
In walks centre Duncan Hume full of Man-flu.
James is heard to say, "Christ Duncan whats wrong with
you? You got AVIATION flu or something"
I rest my case.



Excuses and abuses given to us over the years
Excuse Name Mark out of 10 Comment
None whatsoever as position is undefendable Lee Clack 0 or 10 depends how you look at it! On hearing that it was Nathan's birthday on tour, Mr Clack, for no apparent reason whatsoever offered to buy him a Christmas Tree!?
I don't think even the champagne and Adnams can explain this...
Suspect Hairstyle Chris Withey 4 After unfounded comments about a likeness to Jimmy Osmond, Chris' partner Lucy let slip he uses her hair straighteners. We admire this candidness and acceptance of normal fly-half behaviour. long may it continue
Wearing wifes panties in the changing room Richie Farrands 7 I can see the benefits in many ways of tight silky knickers - but not in public and in front of impressionable players under the age of 30. Keep your antic at home.
I am very doubtful of making the match as I am recovering from being hit in the eye by an errant bulrush. Bob Stephenson 8 Bull…. There is no doubt this an original and inventive excuse. Would a 2nd row admit to being beset by an aquatic plant – you decide.
I can’t play on Saturday as I am carrying an injury from training Abbo 0 Owned! Truth – watching international gymnastics with ladyfriend. I like lycra but on Hungarian heffalumps. An outrageous fabrication.
I’ve put a pencil through my foot Will Dicks 9 From ear to floor and through foot! Those of us who remember Will are not surprised.


Seen and Heard
After a training session the World Cup was being discussed. Great game Canada v Japan. A young,innocent piped up 'Great try, that Japanese wingers skilful and nippy'. Out of the mouths of babes....
