Appears to be part of lesson number 1 on how to deal with the Press.

Seemed to be very natural for Ruan and P3 too. I suspect normal expression in SA.

We’re in Berlin and just about to raise a glass to Stew McDowall who sadly passed on 16 June, having missed his funeral service today. He was the first to properly welcome us into the UR family and away trips, in particular, will never be the same again. It was a pleasure to be sitting next to him ...

They learned 'Look' from Muller. He was a master of dealing with Qs and I have no problem with them picking up on that. Lessons became learnings in the US. I hear the term in business too (and enjoy correcting it). Look - Going forward is annoying, but it is one of those stock phrases that they use ...

Can somebody help me to understand why we have this convoluted system of matches? How do they choose who plays who? What are the advantages of this system?

Many TV sets now have a feature called PIP (he has done well for himself since his days here). Apparently it stands for Picture in Picture, and allows you to view a second TV source superimposed onto the one you are currently watching. Like a wee box in the corner. Anyway, using this facility, one n...

Aye, sad to hear about Stew. Always a big smile and cheery attitude.
Always had a suggestion for a bar worth trying or a landlord who was prepared to do us a deal.

Defence is good. I suppose, but both sides are happy to make the tackle and regroup. Very few rucks.

Handling poor.
Set pieces poor (CO's worse than poor)
Kicking from hand poor.
Place kicking poor.
