The UAFC

I wasn’t as convinced as others that playing the French sides in Belfast and the English sides away was a particularly great set of fixtures. Not only did it ruin my holiday plans but I’m pretty sure that the reverse would have seen us qualify comfortably. If we don’t find another gear from somewher...

That Mark guy with the long surname won’t be playing for the Aussies as he’s fecking off to rugby league for (at least) a couple of seasons.

Hmmmm. Strikes me as a bit of a dick too. He bustled past me at Twickenham once, with his security guard, as though he owned the place.

And they don’t.

I don’t think wiping my Brennan on my mobile phone would be very hygienic.

Full house at Quins.

There’s a good black and white photo of him in the Daily Mail from 1982.

Very black beard and brows but the hair, a look that Rod Stewart must have sported at some point, is at the salt and pepper stage.

Hoping to see an improved showing from Addison tonight. It's obvious Dan is trying to get him game time and hopefully that turn of pace / timing will return with a body of training and games under his belt.
