Re: Crossword - Monday

My brother David was in the top ten a few years back. On the London to Brighton train. I think I'm better than him now! (Probably not.) Never ask him about trains. He can draw the entire ruddy network, given a few paper napkins. We are all slightly but nicely mad in my family. ;) He wouldn't know m...

Re: Wallabies 23 for France Tests

I don't think so. We don't have anything better on offer. May be young Rabah Slimani could start as tighthead. But as far as loosehead are concerned, I don't see who PSA would pick. Sounds familiar to us, then (although our scrum did get the better of Ireland last time). The Wallabies don't have ma...
