Re: Farrell

Catt has said for a while that Manu at 12 and JJ at 13 are the future for England. The thing we must remember is that Manu came up against a very physical midfield at the weekend yet he still managed to make some progress.

Re: Obstructive bench persons.

I find that umbrellas should be banned from all events where your eyes are neccesary. All they do is completly block the view for the people behind them.
