British Loins Tour to Australia 2013 - Official Thread

[quote=“Appendage, post: 765998, member: 11”]I think it would be a major mistake to have a Welsh captain and a de facto Welsh coach.

I don’t care for rugby union and I particularly despise the Welsh variety of cunts that play it.[/quote]
The Welsh are generally a despicable people.

I hope they all contract the Spanish Flu on the way to the colony.

Wilko MUST tour.

This is a given. Will he answer the Realms call is now the question. I believe if he refuses then the blame can and MUST be laid at the New Zealanders feet.

Revised Test XV (and first replacements) as of 29/4/13

  1. Halfpenny - Wales (Hogg - Scotland)
  2. Cuthbert - Wales (Bowe - Ireland)

On form Yes, wilko must tour. But fixtures with his club will probably deny him the chance.

Plus the Heineken Cup final on the 18th.

Gethin Jenkins will tour and he is involved in the Heineken Cup Final with Toulon as well. It’ll be a national disgrace if Jonny is not selected.

Another tremendous day for Irish rugby with the news that Donncha O’Callaghan (Cork Constitution and Munster) has been named as the official tour prankster. “Donncha was the stand-out candidate”, said head coach Warren Gatland. “The main goal of the tour is obviously to win but the management team believes it’s vital that we have a character around to lighten the mood amongst the squad at key moments. A happy camp has a better chance of being a winning camp and Donncha’s presence is an important part of what we’re trying to work towards. There’s nobody like the Irish to give everybody a laugh and Donncha epitomises that. Humour is often a tonic for the soul and his track record in this regard was head and shoulders above anybody else’s. Donncha has told me that he’s been expanding his repertoire in recent weeks and will be including some new material, alongside his already tried and tested set-pieces which he’ll bring to a new audience. We look forward to working with him.”

Correction. An international disgrace.

Not your greatest work Sidney, or did you take it from somewhere else?

It’ll be a disgrace to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

Flattery will get you nowhere with me.

Lewis Moody says Rory Best will be the starting hooker Sidney

Lewis selected Tom Youngs in his Independent column.

Lewis also said Mike Ross from Scotland would go and that Adam Jones would be loosehead. Too many bangs to the head for old Lewis I think

For real?! Hahaha!

Lewis also selected Dan Cole as his Loins captain.

I hope at least one of the touring party is arrested for engaging in behaviour akin to that of Mr Wilde.

(I understand this is rife among the rugby union fraternity).

Madigan is a “bolter” according to wood

I hope at least one of them is knocked over by one of these motor vehicles in vogue now while traversing George St.

(I am led to believe this is a common occurrance within the rugby union fraternity).
