Glad to hear it - I guess Log is running so fast his hair is streaming out behind!

I was watching an old Tigers game I had recorded [v Notnot's, in Reading, 2009) when I spotted a very young looking Dan Cole, with lots of hair, limping off near the beginning. He looked totally different with actual hair, though i suppose he has bulked up a bit since then too. I was reminded of thi...

Not just Sorrysons - I used to live in Abu Dhabi [United Arab Emirates] and they had both Saracens and Harlequins franchises there - plus there was a Dubai Wasps team captained by Mr Trevor Leota!

D'oh! I posted the same info 6 mins later than you, MT - never mind... can the mods delete my post or combine it with this one?

As I noticed in my other post, Leicester Tigers were founded 24 yrs before Hull City, and ~133 yrs before Hull Tigers!

To save you all some googling in the next few minutes:

No direct flights from UK to Toulon - only via Brussels, Brest or Paris Orly [the latter Air France].

Yellow for Toby, deliberate knock on after being charged down on a kick again...

Cracking penalty from Flood, due to pulling down in a lineout. From just over the half way line... 9-0 HT

If you compare and contrast the two FHs on the pitch yesterday, Luke McAlister was sublime. He showed good decision making and every restart was different (switching sides twice). Toby Flood persisted with the same restart every single time - long and not high enough to chase very well. Elsewhere on...

Oh, and got sent an email from Stade Toulousain [bought my ticket direct] to say there are supporters buses running from "la sortie de la station de Métro d'Esquirol (LigneA)" - route / location here: http://billetterie.stadetoulousain.fr/u ... te-mtp.pdf
