Disappointed about Skelton, but Rona and Phipps make sense

For those continually concerned about the captaincy, from Haskell & Tindall on the House of Rugby podcast (worth a listen) https://www.joe.co.uk/sport/james-haskell-england-captain-216741

Yeah playing in a winning side does help your chances ;)

Lots of good waxed bodies and shaved heads all of a sudden

semantics mate, throw your stuff on the ground surreptitiously as the cops arrive is the de rigueur for these meetings

Never got paid for "a" but worked hard on "b" & "c" for many years - it was a lot of fun

Well they are, get paid to play footy, screw chicks and do some drugs is the goal for many young men

I suggest you look closer, he has been playing in a pants side, but his efforts and decisions are quality

He continually makes good decisions (on the field) and defends hard, I have always rated him

Hunt is a great player, always has been, but I am not sure if Sydney's night life will help his off the field issues

So on both books

Papers have Hunt to the Tahs You would need a serious testing protocol, but he would be nice @13 if he can stay clean
