Good to see the lads nice and relaxed today, having the bants it seems.

Half eaten cake? A chocolate covered sponge treat?
Rory has been confined to washing arse towels after his embarrassing performance during the week.
:rolleyes:
He obviously has issues blowing his load, pal. Like yourself.

My pipes work fine, thanks.
Can you please refrain from talking about my penis, you seem infatuated and it’s creeping me out.

Your pipes work fine in front of a bunch of lads trying to wank on top on a biscuit? 
Leave it go, mate. There’s a special dick out there for you somewhere, one for everyone that is that way inclined, but mine is not it. My cue likes to pot pink you see, not brown.
Last October we asked PP for odds on Alex Corbisiero to start prop for the Lions in the first test. The cunts offered 16/1 on a player that was playing for London Irish and not even starting for England. Expected to get 33/1 maybe 50/1 but could not take 16/1. Fucking seething.
Opinions for the 1st test TTK? I think Australia could cause an upset.
Cool story bro.
Lions -3 at Evs is free money. They will cover the handicap no doubt.
Game over, ball burst- Donn O’Sullivan
THE LOOK! To paraphrase Ian Mc Geechan, in years to come, Lions players will see each other walking down the street and all they will need is a look! Sky has been building up this ‘look’ now for months. The chosen few, who go from four nations into one. The legend of the ‘Lion’.
Well, for me, this week, the legend of a Lion has been cheapened. The call ups of Wade, Barritt, Twelvetrees and Williams might have been needed for cover, but surely that only confirms that the initial squad was picked incorrectly.
Williams was retired from rugby, making his inclusion a mockery of the tradition of the previous tours, where players were almost expected to play out of position at one point or another and legends were born from same.
Aside from the call ups, Rory Best, not good enough in Gatland’s eyes for a squad place originally, managed to captain the Lions in their loss to the Brumbies. I mean no disrespect to Best, but surely the players in the original 37 must have questioned that decision, either openly or privately.
The mid week loss to the Brumbies which included Hogg at 10, once more proved the decision to bring two 10s was incorrect. With the integrity and more so the tradition of the ‘Lions’ at stake, a series’ win is a must.
16/1 was ridiculously generous given that Corbs was and is England’s clear first choice loose head and has only not started due to injury (as in the Six Nations and in South Africa last year) or Stuart Lancaster resting him during a punishing schedule (as in the November internationals).
As Wrigley Field has quoted above he was my first choice for loose head back in March of last year and stayed as my choice until his knee injury before the Six Nations. I would have given you 6/4 at best.

Why have you taken to posting that lads shite lately mate?

He hasn’t played international rugby for a year, was playing for a second division european club side at the time, and wasn’t even included in the initial squad. He was called up 2 weeks ago you lemming. What price would he have been on the first of this month when he was in his local tescos buying pasta? I’d say 100/1. How they made him 16s last October I’ll never know, how you think he was a 6/4 shot makes you out to be an absolute dimwit of the highest order.
Ah here. You clearly haven’t a clue what you’re on about. I’ll presume you’re drunk or something.
Exactly, you have absolutely no argument. Your post about him being a 6/4 shot to start last October is the most embarrassing post I’ve ever seen on this site, and that includes face-gate. Now get back in your box.
Comedy stuff.
I’ll let the facts speak for themselves.
You say Corbisiero hasn’t played international rugby for a year.

You say Corbisiero was playing for “a second division European club” last October. He wasn’t playing at all as he was nearing a return from injury with London Irish, 9th in the 2012/13 Aviva Premiership. That’s the top division in England by the way. He has just announced a move to Northampton.

You wrote about asking Paddy Power for a price on Corbisiero last October. You say you got 16/1. Either you’re talking bullshit (most likely) or your bookie is an idiot, although clearly not as big an idiot as you, seeing as you wanted 50/1. This for England’s first-choice loose head prop, who had played at the 2011 World Cup and throughout the 2012 Six Nations team. Deary me.

Autumn tests are not competitive International rugby. He hasn’t played a competitive game for over a year. He was employed by London Irish who do not contest in the European elite competition, the Heineken Cup but play in the Challenge Cup and are a second rate domestic side as you’ve highlighted. He has signed for Nothampton for next season. He was sitting at home 15 days ago and you think he was a 6/4 shot to start last October. May I remind you Halfpenny was 5/2 to start last October, O’Driscoll 6/4. You’re absolutely clueless.
