Add in the fact that neither the Aussies nor the Scots care much for the English and we have a good drinking relationship!

Back on topic, another shit display by Scotland. OK, that's two wins out of two, but I'm beginning to dread the pool games against Argentina and the Auld Enemy.

Captain of the English rugby team [Mark Tindal] and married to the grand daughter of the Queen has groped a female at a pub in Queens town NZ

Hmmm, let's see, gropes women, throws dwarfs, gets drunk in New Zealand, Royal Family...so far I see nothing unusual to write home about; its not like he had to pass a test to get admitted into the circle of people who do those things; you should hear the ones they tell about the horses...

Careful there, Russtafa, its Whisky -there have been enough lawsuits over the years to etch this in granite of the kind you see in Aberdeen. I currently have a 16 yr old Glenlivet on the shelf, useful as an aperitif I suppose. And thats not an answer to my question.

Scot get a bonus point from their Rom win due to the number of tries scored

[Stavros]

Thanks for that Priuum, but it sounds like a daft rule, if the opposition is good enough to prevent tries maybe they should get a point even if they lose? A team either wins, or it loses, why muck about with the obvious?

[russtafa]

we are not even worried about their stupid rules

[russtafa]
