France has no room for Julie Pierre when they have recalled Lionel Nallet and are certainly going to select Rougerie. It’s simply madness of the logical sort. Good on St. Andre for ridding himself of Poitrenaud. He can play Max Medard at FB. Good on him for not selecting A. Palisson too. Good on him for selecting David Attoub, the eye gouger. Every team needs a one cap wonder. I guess this means that Julien [...]

It’s olde news to be sure but the three weeks before the 6N is rather boring stuff. Perhaps the mood will lighten abit as my odd choice of England either bears fruit or simply dies on the vine. Am I the only person who thinks that England is a winner despite a rather difficult schedule. Today the Saxons pasted the Wolfhounds. Is there any soothsaying in that victory?

Italy…..Jaques Bruenel should be applauded for not making the [...]
Interim coach of England has already made his first gigantic mistake after such an ilustrious start. It is obvious he is thinking too much about the captainhood. I suppose that means that Tom Wood was indeed his original thought. I’d say he’s stuck. He can’t go Hartley even as an pretender. He can’t go Palmer or Deacon either because they aren’t capable. Besides only one of those guys might start. If Lawes is back, he’s [...]
It looks like we are down to the final eight in the HC. Breaks down to three Irish Provinces, two French Clubs,one quasi English club,one Welsh quasi province and one Scotland province. This tells me something. The English have no representative. I will always think now that Sarries are South African. It also tells me that the England sides are concentrating on the English clubs because that is what is the future of the Heineken [...]
