Two incredibly satisfying events. Thanks Russ, that's cheered me up. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

I feel when someone dies it is good to show some decorum, I therefore renew my sympathies to the families of all those killed and injured and those many tens of thousands who had their lives destroyed by Thatcher. Ding dong.

Oh aye, and Ulster were good forebye. :thumleft:

More importantly, on 9th April 1940, the Germans invaded Denmark. The Danes recognising the seriousness of events, dispatched available troops on bicycles and motorcycles to send the squareheads homewards.

And Thomas Waldon just scored his 19th try of the season, what a strike rate that is, methinks he would do a fine job replacing Nick.

One seriously underestimated back row for years, he may not look like an athletic type of player but he certainly is, viva la tubbies
