Maybe they can do something with Cips similar to what the Reds do with Cooper. Like park Johansson/Mortlock in the channel and have cips, beale, vuna, gerrard and o'connor alternating in counter-attack at the back (or whichever of them are on). Drool.

Emoticons are a travesty, but that is excellent.

How did the Chileans go?

England... Senior men's players: 166,762 Outside-centre: Tindall. Really?

I think the important thing to remember here is that somebody headbutted a lion. You're right though, check this out: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/international/2423473/Tarzan-is-alive-and-kicking-and-playing-for-Namibia.html

I heard a story about Jacques Burger working at a safari park and head-butting a lion to stop it attacking a baboon. I've got my doubts, but I want it to be true, and the guy who told me was being dead serious. This guy seems to agree (more or less)...

I'd love to see the Namibian fullback in a Crusaders jersey. I don't know who he plays for now, but I hope it's someone good. Edit: Chrysander Botha is his name. Apparently he plays for a club in Namibia called Kudus. Surely Blackadder can outbid that.

Hmmm...

Standard South Africa, they need to be forced to pick their best backline. Lambie is wicked.

We made a bloke hit out last summer by saying he looked like the bad guy from Billy Madison. I think he just wanted to stop hanging out with us..

I think cricket sledging is a good analogy, and it explains a lot of people's reactions. Sledging serves a valuable purpose in putting someone off their game (e.g. M-Waugh to some pom: "you're not fucking good enough to play for your country") but the only time it inspires and appeals to the...

This is a different point isn't it? It's not about the merits of what Cooper does (although clearly opinions on that will colour any debate around the topic) but more about whether pundits have a duty to particular teams - particularly if they used to play on that team. For the sake of the...

But seriously you're joking right?

Or maybe he could learn it all here. There's nothing like a "your mum's yellow g-string" call to throw you off in a Bledisloe.

Old players aren't obliged to be cheerleaders. Josh Kronfeld just came out and said McCaw has been overtaken by Pocock (which would probably hurt more than this one, to be honest), so it's not as though Farr-Jones is forging some whole new path. Plus the guy won a world cup. He can say what...

Yeah, calm down. I wasn't saying that posting a Wesley Snipes picture is racist. There's a sentence I never expected to type.

I don't know if that mix-up is funny or racist.

I actually wouldn't mind if they looked at Ellis for regular starting duties. Cowan and Weepu haven't been great lately, and Ellis has pleeeeeeenty of knock-out experience. He's a good defender (probably not quite as good as Cowan), has a good attacking kicking game (at least the equal of...

Most of his really good form was in the ITM cup, and NPC to Tests is a massive jump. Particularly since Manawatu was mainly playing other second-division teams (although I concede that it's a reasonably even standard). I do rate the guy though - it baffles me that someone so small can offload...

Ireland are probably due to fire up. Maybe it all depends on whether they get this speech again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bhgt2pnSywI (The Paul O'Connell bit, not the Wonderwall excerpt at the beginning. Though that might do the trick too. That's a pretty good song.) The Wallabies...
