At least Fluffbert managed to get a Lion's cap before his career went south.

It's two years now that he's been specialising in stepping out of the defensive line to provide text book doglegs for opponents to work through. He's reached art form level.

Being stepped in a phonebox twice by your opposite number for tries in the same half must be demotivating as hell, even if he's one of the best in the world. Adding to that by missing a tackle for one of the other tries meant that it ended up being a deeply forgettable game for him.

He also knocked on the ball 3 or 4 times and blindly ran into the Toulouse defence off first phase and got turned over straightaway. And there was the attempted chip and chase when the ball didn’t clear the Toulouse player’s belly button.Da iawn diolch wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 11:11 am Being stepped in a phonebox twice by your opposite number for tries in the same half must be demotivating as hell, even if he's one of the best in the world.

I’m probably forgetting a few other incidents. I’m trying my best to pretend that yesterday didn’t happen.
