The Perfect Backline!

[nakamura]

A pingu, a few mat dunnings and the set of tellytubbies (including the talking vacuum cleaner) and i would recon the opposition would be too busy ******* themselves to win a game of rugby. Sounds more promising a strategy than rotation.

This man knows his stuff...Except Hernandez should be at fullback! :bleh!:

Oh, I just noticed, Henson and McAlister wouldn't really mix at centre because they're so similar...but who cares?

Yeah I thought the same when picking, but McAlister has also got a fair bit of pace and they're both massive so i thought it would make a pretty formidable partnership. I guess I could put Hernandez in for Carter but Latham's been the best fullback produced in the last decade (Cullen aside) so he's not budging. :cheers:

You're the boss Ol' Buddy Boy!

 

[Bullitt]

Wrong. Latham was the best fullback in the business about a decade ago. Now he's a useless sack of *ahem* collecting his pension in Worcester.

Worcester, for crying out loud!

This coming from a Northampton fan.

Yes, I was wondering if someone's going to mention the rather obvious OAP residing on the throne at the olde Gardens...

I saw Wellington-Manawatu yesterday, and I was amazed a how much time J Schwalger was at first receiver. And he didn't do bad tbh. He's got a little inside step and a good accurate pass (for a front row anyway).
