Baxter was always "Scrumface" before the Fuse incident

Flo = Francois Louw = first letter and surname FLo. Like I qouted he played all his youth rugby with Pieter Louw and maybe they call him this.

What about "Seth" (as in Seth from Superbad) for James Slipper? Based on resemblence.

topo,
I got 'wolfman' from a Cam Shephard column in the Perth sunday paper...



Shepherd column: Potential is one thing, converting is another By CAMERON SHEPHERD From: The Sunday Times March 21, 2010 1:16AM 2
?NEXT week I'll celebrate my 26th birthday. Like a lot of people, I tend to reflect about what's happened in recent times as we reminisce about the "good old days".


This got me thinking about the kids - make that the rising stars - of the 2010 Super 14.

There are always plenty of talented kids, but it's another thing to convert that into solid contributions for the senior side.

For the purposes of this column, I'm not going to talk about the established stars such as James O'Connor, Will Genia and Quade Cooper, so let's talk about some names you may be less familiar with.

Here at the Western Force we have 21-year-old flanker Ben McCalman. The new recruit started Week 1 as a reserve, but got his opportunity to start and played 80 minutes in the games against the Hurricanes, Chiefs and Reds.

He's as tough as nails, and his work-rate is outstanding. The man we call Wolfman is part-Matt Hodgson and part-Richard Brown, high praise indeed. On the east coast, Brumbies centre Christian Leali'ifano has gone from a talented prospect in the backline to a real strength.

@Matty if you stick the saffas on a different worksheet in google then it'll do tabs down the bottom (have to share the other sheets too)

I've got a few saffa ones:
Piers Spies - Piece of Piss
Andre Pretorious - Blue Steel (he does the look just before a kick)
Percy Montgomery - Prince Percy (dead ringer for the prince from Shrek)
Schalk Burger - The Incredible Schalk

From Moses' and Paarl's suggestions this is opening up to other nations. So start suggesting.

My mother was watching the replay of the first Englnd test and refered to James Slipper as a fat version of Peter Hynes.

Another was hearing Drew Mitchell call James O'Connor a Justin Beaver look alike. Nearly fell out of my chair laughing.

There is potential for Sookface II for JO'C after this photo.

At least he's having a sook. If he wasn't he'd be criticised for not giving a damn.

Looks like G&GR might have chalked up another to go with Sookface:

From QuadeCooper @Matt_Gagger we just watched ! great mash up lol needs the falcon haha

From Matt_Gagger @QuadeCooper Was a stunner. Might have to call him 'Gilbert', considering it's probably still on his forehead
