Backstage the final qualifying round of soggy biscuit is reaching it’s climax as players battle it out for the last remaining places.

Sidney · April 30, 2013, 9:52am

My sources tell me Madigan is in and that Walnuts will captain the squad.

myboyblue · April 30, 2013, 9:52am

I hear there are 'big surprises ’ and that ‘none of the pundits got the squad right’

Incredible.

myboyblue · April 30, 2013, 9:53am

Who’s Walnuts Sidney, not familiar with the moniker. Did you make it up yourself?

Horsebox · April 30, 2013, 9:57am

Just got a sneaky text from Gats. O’Connell is captain-looks like I was right once again.

Manuel_Zelaya · April 30, 2013, 10:00am

Sick with nerves waiting for the big announcement.

Britain 37.

myboyblue · April 30, 2013, 10:17am

Ulshhhhhhter will not stand for this. For years they stood loyally by the Empire, and THIS is how that loyalty is rewarded?!

Sidney · April 30, 2013, 10:17am

No Jonny or Rog will be the main talking point.

And I’ll have to have a word with my sources.

Nevertheless, credit to Gatty and the coaching staff on keeping the identity of the touring party such a secret in this multimedia age. Only the ever-reliable Stephen Jones was near the mark.
