This could have been rather awkward

[rugbyskier]

Someone at the airline (I'd think it was Emirates) has a strange sense of humour putting Sam Warburton and Vincent Clerc in seats beside each other on their flight from Auckland after the World Cup.

That makes me want to fly Emirates, employees with a sense of humour/mischief.

Also good comments now that things have settled down from the Breadman. I like him, no doubt I will like him a lot less before long when he orchestrates some Welsh win(s?!) over the Wallabies.

I was trying to think of something more awkward but all I could come up with was the irony of Nick Phipps not being allowed on a flight home because he wasn't listed as a passenger.

Probably spent the flight buying eachother drinks and had a great time. It's the rugby way.

I recall sitting next to Tony Carrol on a flight to Sydney in 2009 (?) He was on his way down for Origin after being called into the Queensland Camp on late notice... nice guy. We watched top gear together and he shared his starburst with me.

Ah yes I remember Tonie Carroll, had three goes at gouging a young Cowboy's eyes a few years back, but as he was a 'protected spicies', (Origin Player), nothing was done! Now what part of Queensland did he come from......was it the North Island, or the South Island?!!
