Really?

Rob Howley? Do you think Rob Howley would agree with you?

Yes, Rob Howley. He was twice the running threat that Joost ever was.

Short Man Syndrome

I see Joost as a poor man’s Rob Howley but that doesn’t help order my preference from that list at all. Gregan, Smith, Faf: legends.

Again, despite views to the contrary, Taylor Swift has proven herself to be the pre-eminent songwriter of her generation. This has been the main driver behind her being worth north of A BILLION. FVCKING. DOLLARS.

Indeed! I can identify the talentless from a mile away.

Hands up everyone that performed multiple, sold-out, shows at Wembley stadium with just you and a guitar. Very much in the eye of the beholder, my friend reckons he was shit because it was just him and his guitar, my wife's friend says he was brilliant for the same reason. Massive, massive balls of...

Spare a thought for the saffa 9 who benched for Faf who was lightning quick and scored some scintillating WC tries but was always no.2 (rightly) behind his Fafness. He’s definitely as good/better than at least one of those listed. Reinach? Scored hatricks in 2 WC games - one of them before half tim...

I very occasionally see him in a bar in the wider neighbourhood. I’ll be sure to pass on everyone’s thoughts. I’m sure he’ll appreciate it.

Floyd Steadman was the last decent English scrum half.

Absolute tragedy about Duncombe, obviously.

TBF, I didn’t mind Bagpuss

At least he didn’t pretend to be a wandering-fucking-minstrel

I’ve got a lot of time for Ed but you’ve done me a service here by reminding me how much I disliked him fawning his way into GoT for his cameo.

I hear they are releasing a commemorative micro-stamp celebrating great English scrum halves. I assume there has been more than one.

I presume there’s been any? Dickie Jeeps: I want to say he was a) a scrum half and b) decent.

Short Man Syndrome

Some incredible scrummies in that list. And Matt Dawson.

Is cadet Bonespurs really about to trouser a few billion after selling Truth Social? If he does, I will forever mothball my claims that he is a sh1t businessman.

My 6’7 18 stone nephew has Exeter Uni as his first choice, I’ll batter him if he signs any England-first contracts.

All good points, Pumita, but there’s no way any other teams are getting into the 6 Nations. It’s like saying that Australasian golf deserves a place at the Ryder Cup. They either sack off the 6N and replace it with a more inclusive, wider European tournament or they leave their ancient, much-beloved...

Just pointing out that when you said "very different", you hadn't bothered to look back at that fixture and were talking out of your hoop. :thumbup: Don’t change the subject… it's ok to say that you didn't check the RWC teamsheet before you posted. :thumbup: That’s what the tacit non-denial was the...

Short Man Syndrome

No it wasn't. :lol: It was basically LRZ, Not Toby and Liam in the XV we were picking this 6N. This was the game where we rested Biggar, Gaz Davies, Captain Jac and others ahead of the Oz match. Georgia's lineout and scrum crumbled under moderate pressure, and they kept chucking it about and conced...

Short Man Syndrome

Last time the two sides met it was a comfortable 43-19 win. Georgia are overreaching themselves here. Very different Welsh team then. Georgia would be a very stiff challenge for the current crop. I’d love to see it - hope it happens. I’d much rather see a closely-fought contest between two evenly m...

England side for the W6N opener v Italy England: Kildunne; Dow, Rowland, Scarratt, Breach; Harrison, Packer; Botterman, Atkin-Davies, Clifford, Aldcroft, Ward, Kabeya, Packer, Beckett. Replacements: Powell, Carson, Muir, Feaunati, Matthews, Hunt, Aitchison, Jones. It’s actually pretty fantastic tha...

Ginger - of the Wildhearts fame - and his side project Silver Ginger 5 managed to lay down this piece of pop rock perfection without anyone noticing. https://youtu.be/Zs4MFhkR5LA?si=ECDLZUMKxGP355Q5 And I’m almost legally obliged to mention Lewis Taylor on these threads - https://youtu.be/E7wUC2vzdF...

As great a tournament as he had, Reffell wouldn’t shade Earl or Lemoncello imo.

I explained why humour was not a factor. Hmmmm... to be fair, that is some dry, wry, humour right there. There was. Rather (ahem) big of you to admit that. It made me smile - in this crazy, war-torn, world I will always give comedy credit where it is due. Bimbs takes himself too seriously but he’s ...

No, but I see Earl as more of a 7. However, I’m not sure Earl would get to run with the ball as often at 7. It seems foolish to stop playing him at 8 when he’s clearly enjoying it, too. The point is that it would be exciting to see a Lump/Earl/Mercer back row. Wise? Practical? Feasible? Likely? Mayb...

Maybe being bolted onto a monster T14 pack had something to do with it. And the malnourished, anaemic and undersized England pack will, of course, highlight his shortcomings? They’re not that dominant yet. Mercer is a luxury player. He looks twice as tough and twice as smart as any other English 8....

Apart from one premiership cup game Mercer has been bang average. His last European game he was shockingly bad.
