Gatland on dropping O'Driscoll

First topic message reminder :

http://rugbyonslaught.blogspot.ie/2013/10/gatland-we-dropped-odriscoll-because.html

Speaking last week Gatland said that BOD was dropped because his legs had went in the last 15 mins of the second test and this was due to the Wallabies attacking his channel.

It seems strange considering a lot of players in the modern game only last that long and under less pressure

I still think Henson should have started that first test in 2005.

If he had things could have been so different ..... the abs would probably have speared him rather than drico and we might have won the series.

Henson had so much hairspray on he would have been immune to spearing.

on the contrary, Cyril... hair spray spikes give nice edges for deeper soil penetration when speared.

I've givan up spelling things correcly.

Get the Henson spiked look, for deeper pentetration.

Fly, I bow to your greater knowledge of hair cosmetics/flora integration.

Not one Irish poster in the previous 12 posts. Maybe time to let this one go

***EDIT***Fly got there first.

That's just asking for a 'regularly seen in Church' joke circa 2007.

Who would have thought Henson would resolve this issue though?

He's like an orange Jeremy Kyle.

A Mr Winklechops?

That's the sprit!

At least hair cosmetics/flora integration coefficients and tangential displacement of neck muscles as a result of said insertions...........

..........is finally a reasonable topic for discussion on a rugby board!

Beats the silly GatBODgate rubbish hands down.

Now has anyone got any charts on the typical forces that would operate on hairsprayed spikes as they're pile driven into NZ turf?  Then we'll take it from there.

That would be quite a good way of aerating the turf, wouldn't it?

Collateral benefits do seem to be suggested in that area.. but further lab tests will be required to confirm those preliminary findings.

Guys, I think thats what we do with the Millenium Stadium turf and everyone complains about it giving up too easy.

Its a well known side effect of the Henson method.

There might be some interesting findings as to the effect of various gels / hairsprays / mousses on the growth of the grass and possibly worm death.

 

Good God!

Someone should put up a thread "Aeration of soil and worm death - Discuss" just for the fun of it.

Coincidentally, Aeration of Soil and Worm Death is the title of the new album by The Flaming Lips

Only in the rugby section does discussionary chaos rule supreme. Long may it continue.

I can believe that!
