yes that was odd, didn't think much of him....typically crap Southern hemisphere ref
I'd also start Nowell instead of May on Saturday. I'd even be tempted to put Itoje back in the second row and someone like Clifford at 6. I'm beginning to think he'll eventually start thinking about moving Farrell to 10 and putting Ford on the bench. I mean, it's ridiculous to suggest it having won 15 in a row but i think having someone like Teo'o in the centres will be the way forward.Quote:

He would then roll around endlessly looking for sympathy while the pro-Saffie crowd was baying for blood. Me, I thought to myself 'well kick it earlier then you stupid, cheating Saffie'.Quote:

Yes - meant to say the Nowell thing - definitely should be in. Liked a lot of what Daly did though as well. Not sold on Teo - happy for it to stay as we are at the momentQuote:
