It has been going on in rugby for ages and New Zealand are the worst offenders. How many of their greats should have been playing for Samoa.

As it happens, he dropped out as well.

Still do I accept it without a moan, as Flutey is certainly a classier international than Flood or Tait.
How do they still get picked? They are both out of their depth in international rugby and apart from one break by Tait, were piss poor AGAIN.

So you want Jamie Noon back ? or Erinle ? or any of the other numerous "lets see who we can run into" brigade of English centres ?

At least those 2 have the capability to see space and try to attack it rather than look to run into someone.

Come on Vig we beat the Welsh stop being a doom merchant

I thought it was a big improvement on the Autumn internationals. Great to have Easter and Armitage back - although Armitage looked rusty.

Flood is not a centre so I'm looking forward to seeing Tait outside Flutey. I think he can cause some damage with Flutey creating some space to work in.

It was nice work from Tait for Haskell's final try.

I'm not being a doom merchant, I just feel that we could be so much better with two class centres and a scrum half with quick hands. Also would like to see our wingers used as an attacking weapon. When they get the ball they are in shock for a couple of seconds and then miss the moment........


OK i am being a doom merchant...... :eek:
