No, not that one!
Remember, whatever you do to the smallest of the backs you do to his prop, and you can't avoid the rucks and mauls forever...
I know you don't like it when I boo him but how else will he know he's wrong?

Re: Formerly of this parish
yes it took the RFU too long but that doesn't mean the SRU aren't a disgrace in not paying their players, I'm not talking massive money I'm talking a living wageCrofty wrote: ↑Wed Mar 30, 2022 6:51 pmIt was only 2019 when England became the first national women's 15 a side squad to go full time professional and the RFU is far richer giant than the SRU minnow so let's not get too high and mighty...Jimmy Skitz wrote: ↑Sat Mar 26, 2022 1:37 pmcurrently 57-5 up, total domination, though disgracefully the Scottish women are NOT full time professionals, SRU hang your heads ...Cagey Tiger wrote: ↑Sat Mar 26, 2022 12:13 pm Not sure if this was posted when the appointment was made last year.

Re: Formerly of this parish
In an article on Dom Barrow in the Telegraph:
“I wanted to change the rhetoric from being the trialist that is now a Sale Sharks player to being the guy that was the marquee player at Northampton Saints and a future England international.”
He was a marquee player at Saints? Surprising!

Previously a slower, shorter, less good looking version of Tom Croft.

Pretty sure he couldn't have been a marquee player at Saints, having been with Tigers in the previous salary cap year...No6_Flanker wrote: ↑Tue Apr 05, 2022 1:14 pm In an article on Dom Barrow in the Telegraph:

He was also never a future England international, due to the fact that he did not become an England international. He might have hoped to be a future England international, but that's something entirely different.

How many caps has Charlie Ewells got...

Re: Formerly of this parish
This! Dom at his best,which wasn't seen a lot mind you,was better than any version of Ewels. I expect he's one of these "lineout gurus" you hear about

It might seem daft, but England don't have a surplus of 2m tall, 120+kg locks. Now that Kruis is retired, Launchbury is the heaviest lock England will be able to feasibly play.
