Just eaves dropping on your post as interested in the people behind the forum name!

In the depths of my memory, I'm sure Pull has mentioned this before on one of the football pretend manager leagues, and someone posted the video.

Correct if I'm wrong Pull, but it was a bit "pop video of the older brothers of the act that didn't get past Louis Walsh's judges houses on X Factor"?

If you played rugby, what was your position?:

Mostly at 6, sometimes at lock
I have played also loosehead, centre, wing (very defensive wing...) a little
One match at FB which resulted in my only card and me letting in 3 tries and a penalty try at the back (wasn't really quick enough, only at FB because on Tour after a Duke of Edinburgh expedition and the 2nd team backs were too "tired" to play so they got dropped.


Favourite player (current or ever):

On balance, including character, Chris Robshaw, which won't surprise many!

Best rugby memory (playing or watching):

Playing - scoring a try in my last every school game (was a charge down, mind).
Watching - torn between JW's DG to win 2003 or Quins edging Tigers to win their only AP title

Lions - NZ scoreline:

0 - 3 to the All Blacks, 2 close-ish tests, 1 heavy-ish loss
