I can do one this evening.  I gots nuthin else to do.  

He has more hair than dad..............

OK, I did it this morning on the England Squad thread. Let's see which fish rises to the bait. It's pretty cheap and transparent wind up, to be fair.

Not looking good

Wilson should at least have bought him a nice dinner first.

Just to explicitly spell out what happened, Glasgow got themselves 3 points up with 6 go go and had set up a driving maul on the halfway which was marching forward with gay abandon, eaking out a penalty.

Except Swinson kebab-shopped someone in the maul right in front of the linesman and Saints were given a penalty and Swinson a yellow.

So instead of Glasgow kicking deep into Saints' 22 and (hopefully) keeping them down there, Saints spent the next 6 minutes assaulting Glasgow's line and the dam eventually burst.

Swinson made a very, very bad decision.

Thanks for the update. Wilson should be shipped onto another less aspirational club next season. He could meet whomever he liked off the bus there.

Hmm could that be conclusive enough to warrant a 12 week ban? Dickinson'a body hides the incident from view so casts doubt on what actually happened. Plus judging by Dickinson's reaction it was a bit of a nip instead of a full on grab and pull for all his worth!

Just trying to play devil's advocate here - if that's the only view he might get away with it, or at least not the full ban.

Woah there! We don't want him.....

He should go to London Scottish. I don't want him completely off the radar, just in case a strange and mysterious illness befalls the 7 or 8 players ahead of him in the Scotland pecking order.

Heir (or should that be Hair?) apparent to Will Greenwood I say.

And young Harry wouldn't have to dye his hair (or maybe just a little).  

Do you think he will captain the next Lions tour?

Is it just me or does Harry Mallinder look like Beaker (from the muppets) head grafted onto George North's body?
