Wellington v Canterbury from 2000:
LikeLike
Seems that Leinster have picked something of a B-team. And Ulster have a number of ex-Leinster players who might want to prove something. Hope? It’s the hope that kills ya….
LikeLike
Horrible kit for Canterbury. Both teams stacked with class players.
I played a few games with one of the guys in the Wellington side.

Hmm, Ulster also putting out a bit of a B-team.

Interesting commentary
‘Ian Madigan: the hair is perfect, the legs are smooth, the shorts are tight’
Or did I hear that wrong?
LikeLike
Chimpie – unfortunately not. He went on to say that Madigan would win Love Island (something I have thankfully never seen).

Most odd

For some bizarre reason, the officials are calling Leinster the ‘red’ team.

Lovely passage of play from Ulster, but they end up spilling the ball.

Cooney having an uncharacteristically poor game.

WUT?! They call that offside, and didn’t even look at the previous one?

Fucking rubbish.

It’s the mister’s unbiased opinion that Clownshoes lost us that match.

Ah well, it doesn’t actually matter.

To anyone who is interested : Brian Moore is the guest on Private Passions on BBC Radio 3 at 12.00. This is a better, to my mind, version of Desert Island Discs, with more interesting guests and choices of music.

Aki is a seriously large centre! Disnt see the second red. Flicking between the rugby, golf, cricket and TdF. After so many months with bugger all, I’m the proverbial kid in a candy store.

Judging the Glaws Tiggers game on small faced second rows as per Norskeds scientific research, Tiggers are doomed.
