Still searching for the elusive feck

I've no fecks to even look for a feck.

Nice to see Rory being singled out downunder:

All Blacks hookers Dane Coles and Codie Taylor are set to lock horns with one of the top hookers in the world, Ireland's Rory Best, at the weekend.
Coles has played Best before while it will be a new experience for Taylor. Coles said the Irishman had an 'outrageous work rate'.

"I've got a lot of respect for the guy, I've always wanted to play against him and I'm really looking forward, if I get the chance, to have that battle because he's a world-class hooker," he said.

No room for Paddy on the flight to Chicago

*Personal reasons it seems.

Maybe just doesn't like the thought of travelling to the States.

He didn't mind before which makes me think has be been a naughty boy and can't get a visa.

Either way couldn't care less and hope he can play on Friday night.

Is Luke fit?

[Nightsoil]

You mean there's a reason other than Schmidt trying very hard not to select Ulstermen?

Hope that's what it is.

Luke did not want to miss the trip. He is a keen supporter of Donald Trump and had hoped to make it to a rally. Instead, his cultural thrill this weekend will be a visit to John Knox's House in HIgh Street, Embra, where all manner of tittle tattle about the troublesome Proddie may be gleaned.

Just think if it hadn't been for John Knox all GB & I clergy would probably have been up to their balls in kids, the rotten lowlife swineishbastards. As it was, certainly a few proddie collaredbastards "went Roman", but mainly left such matters of child rape & abuse to the Romans.

Religion eh? The things it allows itself/it's agents to do to people on behalf of it's invisible friend. Makes me bloody well sick. I am absolutely bereft of the first idea how any sentient creature can fail to see and abhor the damage that organised religion has done ............. and before you start ............. looking after a few wee black babies doesn't come close to repairing the damage.

AI's? No fecks.

Will these personal reasons keep Paddy out of the Embra match?

That will be very interesting to see, perhaps he has a dentist appointment on Thursday or taking the dog to the vet or something like that ?

[drumbo diehard]

Maybe he has a trip to Northampton?

[BaggyTrousers]

Well boys & girls, often when guys withdraw for personal reasons, there is bad news behind it, lets hope that is not the case for Paddy.

Just saying.

On the other hand, when a priest or other evil collaredbastard withdraws ............. well, I hardly need draw you a picture, the scumbags.
