Darcey voted for guns and ability. If he'd been dancing ballroom Steve would have got through.

Don't think this was Ola's finest choreography, and it will likely be the end for her on Strictly.

The sticking the neck out bit is for Payne out (and Olding in).

The fight is between Payne and Jones for fullback/utility back...

Lost all composure after 20 minutes. All too frantic, and Ozzies are taking advantage with great passing (though that second try was a joke by the ref to be fair).
