Yep. At school when he played no8 and I played a scared no10.jimKRFC wrote:Andrew Sheridan I assume?

I feel like this question is all this bizarre conversation was really about.jimKRFC wrote:Andrew Sheridan I assume?

Not really. Posted it as there was the convo about Botia initially being named at flanker before that being changed to centre, and this is the reason why. It also reminded me of being walked all over by one freak at school boy level, let alone having to worry about two.Mikey Brown wrote:I feel like this question is all this bizarre conversation was really about.jimKRFC wrote:Andrew Sheridan I assume?

In other idle thoughts, why do England not hand out caps for these games? Other countries do or at least have done for games against the Baabaas in the past, so there's nothing to stop them within World Rugby's rules I imagine. I'm not saying they should as it's obviously not a proper international, but if they did then the likes of Haley, Sheedy, Tompkins and Williams would all be tied to England rather than pulling on the shirts of rival countries (although it's a chicken/egg situation for some I suspect - Sheedy I imagine was happy to play for England against the Baabaas as he knew it didn't tie him down but might have rejected the offer of a full cap).
yes, yes and lol. He's really not that bad, but not that good either.Epaminondas Pules wrote:SDHoneymonster wrote:I think you're all very mean about Atkinson, he's got a great all round skill set, with both playmaking and boshing abilities. He's like a much, much less good Ma'a Nonu.

A GREAT skill set? Really? I mean he's a good club player, but that's about it. Nonu had an average skill set early on in his career but then worked like an absolute beast on his all round game and ended up with a great skill set in the main.
Dingwall would be an obvious choice here. He can play 12 or 13, is in tip top form and continues to improve as a player.
Playing Atkinson gives me hope that my chances of a cap aren't over yet, and I'm 46 and shit.
Yep who the hell knows what a high tackle is any more.Epaminondas Pules wrote:Atkinson with a knock on and forward pass in 12 minutes, and a rather suspicious high shot from Skelton on Curry totally ignored!
Any context required?Epaminondas Pules wrote:Atkinson with a knock on
totally tmo a joke againEpaminondas Pules wrote:We’re using TMO for two different knock ons but not a blatant headshot. Ok then!
Yellow card and penalty try even though Penaud has overrun it.
mind that whole passage was kicked off by the pack falling asleep and being counter rucked to easilyEpaminondas Pules wrote:We’re using TMO for two different knock ons but not a blatant headshot. Ok then!

i guess but get away with it cos we hadnt got anyone thereEpaminondas Pules wrote:Very true though the baabaas all drive round and off their feet. Cute if you get away with it, which they did.
