Oh I see, that's the way it is, is it? You're the only one who can disappear for 24 hours without so much as a by your leave or a quick word so we won't all think you've done a Stonehouse, are you?? Right!!
No, the truth is I'm still smarting about BB's son... No names, no pack drill, but I KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE!!!
It all started in January 2013 when he was judging the Caption Competition and I clearly had the best caption, but didn't even finish in the top 5. And the 7's semi was the final straw. Bar steward. (BB, please ask him to give Lucy a hug for me).
Anyway, back to topic...
I think I said my bit about the selection for Saturday. I'd love to see Simmons featuring, at least on the bench, but by and large no awful shocks for me.
As for the video, I overlooked the 'hour' bit, and when I realised how long it was after a couple of minutes, I just couldn't face an hour-long whinge about the officiating by a defeated coach, though I'm sure at some point he tried to make out that wasn't the case. Way out of order IMO, and it will be interesting to see if there's any comeback.
Yes, he probably does make one or two good points, but every coach could do that after every single game there's ever been, and it works both ways. Not to mention the fact that had the mad Hobbit de Faff
been sent off in the previous non-test game, as he might well have been, he wouldn't have been playing in the test(s).
I think it was a bad idea, a bad precedent to set, and I hope he gets sanctioned for it. I also hope Gatland keeps his mouth shut on the topic.
