First thought there was Shane Warne but that was pretty good

Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.

To think all this debate started with Rumns analysis of Doaks passing action!
I am almost afraid we will now get Rumns comments on the drumming action. As sure as shooting, Rumns dad will have taken him to drumming classes when he was younger.

Chubby Warne probably did have strong wrists in those days. Less need when he became a celebrity

Was not expecting to see Warney mentioned on an Ulster A vs Leinster A thread........even allowing for the random comments on the UAFC!

Read Noel Francis to day in the tele — no wind- up no step — zip the ball out — he believes it can’t be developed — but I wouldn’t necessarily agree — it basically is finding the key to the zip and then developing it .
For wind up read pulling your arms back ie an arms only pass

Anybody who gurns about this thread moving off topic is a Fascist. This site is getting more like the Third Reich every day.

Think you mean Neil Francis
Good to see you are now relying on well known experts in passing
God loves a trier I suppose....
Why don’t you nip off and give a football a good blast (generating all the power just through your ankle of course

Glad you understood what he meant - I hadn't a baldy what he was on about.
Seriously Rum - could you ever just take a few more moments to read over what you're about to post and try to put some punctuation in there. You could be making the most insightful comment in history, but no one (well, bar turko possibly) knows what the hell yer talking about. It would be asking too much to expect turko to translate for all of us every time.
