    Hmmmmmm ok then, I obviously misread the signs. And not for the first time, the last time I ended up doing a 7 stretch, I could have sworn she said yes though. Prick.

    Easy mistake to make. It's confusing when they say no with their mouth but their eyes are pleading yes.

    The criteria for international selection allows non nationals to play for "other" countries, Kiwis, Tongans, Aussies and the like can be selected for International duty by England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland & Italy et al, my gripe is that's fine and dandy, but they should not be representing the "British and Irish lions", we have plenty of players here whose life's ambition is to play for the lions only to see it taken away by a Kiwi, Tongan etc, who I'm pretty sure did not grow up wanting to be a lion.

    This is true and only here cos they are getting better paid in Europe. CJ Stander,IRISH but dems the rules,residency as such.The Irish used the grandmother rule in footie but gone mad in Athletics with long distance runners getting citizenship just to win medals and I don't mean Mo.The Indoor European Championships a few months back,Irish athletes did brill in the long distance runs(probably Brits as well) but the Turks wiped the board with them and had Kenyans and Ethiopians running for them.The Saudis are doing the same in the bigger field ie world and Olympics

    Told you, no war the British ever fought and won was won without a few Jocks. You can't argue with history M7.
