To be accepted into the upper middle class social circles that your standing as a "nouveau (nearly nouveau to be accurate) riche" entrepreneur requires in modern society will need some basic understanding of:
the rules of rugger
the rules of cricket
One end of a horse from another
when when/when not to tuck your shirt in
how to use something called cutlery
how to sneer at football whilst having your own team to support

Anyway, I shall now state publicly that although I still think BOD should have played, it has been confirmed to me that I don't have a bloody clue what anyone with a shirt number greater than 9 actually does, so in future I shall refrain from saying anything about the selection of backs.
The forwards were bloody brilliant; well done to the backs for not screwing it up. Highlights; Jones, Hibbard and Corbisiero pissing all over Australia's attempt at a front row, a ref who cares about the fine art of scrummaging and Geoff Parling's diving tap tackle.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

Originally posted by Gibbon View PostThat's only half an admission, I think admin should replace your avatar with a hat or pie for a week and a title saying " I was very wrong Mr Gatland, sorry."
And there's something I just don't like about Gatland; dunno what it is.
Where I was wrong was in assuming that Australia would actually be good.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

Nobody else even in the media seems to have mentioned that tackle by Parling but it was brilliant, and probably a try-saver.
Incidentally, wasn't it Alexander that kept winning penalties off Vinupola? What goes round comes around!Comment
