Over the years I have explained several times to my missus, (who is Scottish), the thing about the UK, GB, NI, and Ireland, and she has still never quite got it. Mind you she pays a lot of taxes, so it’s a dilemma whether she should be stripped of her citizenship or not..

Jesus Christ. That is the most elaborate and ridiculous job posting I have ever seen. That poor baby has a dreadful childhood ahead of him.

How do you think Scotland feel? They have one flyhalf in the top 1 in the world and no one else in the top 50.

You might think that now but I could easily see them getting dragged in by indiscriminate biscuit begrudgers.

A phenomenal piece of journalism. A tragedy though that this level of scrutiny is so rare amongst political interviewers. Nearly all the rest are so easily fobbed off by waffle, and then give up and move on to the next question.

No, never seen it enforced. What I do see is clear outs like Morgan’s allowed throughout every game without a comment

Nothing controversial about it.

It was a perfect ruck clean out by Morgan. Identical to rucks throughout every game every day. Strong case for Tizzano to be penalised for having his head below his hips.

Hard to think if any player who has been so underrated for so long as Owen Farrell.

I think he’ll persevere with the wingers. I can see a bench including Hansen to cover back 3 and Baby-Faz to cover 10/12.

His defence is not international standard. Yes, his ability to finish opportunities and destroy teams with his running game does warrant him being there. But all round contribution over 80 mins not up to the level of the other wingers in tour.

Yeah, well I’ve seen him go in for a tackle before. But his contribution to defence cant be compared to Lowe, Hansen, Freeman. He is not a great all round player but his scoring rate is ridiculous. He pretty much guarantees tries and deserves to be in the squad for that reason.
