Fleet Street Flutter with Fantasy

Posted on by

It seems that Sportsmail Reporter from England’s Daily Mail watched a different game to the rest of us last weekend.

Vickery and fellow prop Andrew Sheridan were frustrated by Australian spoiling tactics which saw scrums persistently collapse, England giving away a string of penalties and even suffering the indignity of being pushed off one of their own scrummages.

So, according to a journalist so brave he signs his articles as “Sportsmail Reporter”,the scrums collapsed due to “Australian spoiling tactics”, cause um, they’re Australian and just enjoy collapsing scrums. It had nothing at all to do with the pompack retreating after the engage, nor the English props not binding despite numerous warnings from Jonker.

As for the ‘indignity of being pushed off one of their own scrummages’, do you think he’s referring to the attacking one 5 metres out from our posts, the one on halfway, or the one on their 22? It’s difficult to be sure but that seems more like 3 to this uneducated convict.

Stephen Moore – Man of the match

Here’s a picture of Stephen Moore holding up his well earned Man of the Match Trophy. And what a trophy it is, from this angle I’d describe it as a well hung lawn bowling unicorn. It’s mounted on a stand, but also comes with a blue ribbon which presumably goes around your neck. Would have looked great to wear it out in Twickenham the night after the match.

Personally I’d have given it to Al BaxTAH, but Moore did have a good game also. In truth, any of the forwards could have taken the honours, even the bearded one who was no-where near the wing. Someone please tell Sharpe not to shave, well at least not until February.

The Set Piece from Twickenham

A hell of a lot was written in the leadup to this Test Match at Twickenham, and pretty much all of it was about how the Poms would smash the Aussie Scrum.

It was so refreshing to see us not only gain parity in the set piece but to absolutely demolish the great unwashed with two tightheads was a thing of beauty.

I reckon the turning point when we really started to smash em up front was Palu’s substitution for Brown. Looking forward to Wycliff getting his starting spot back next week.

And to those who’ve been bad-mouthing Australia’s most capped and my favourite prop Al BaxTAH, who you’ll notice is front and centre in my banner of legends, feel free to shut the fúck up before Al sticks your head up your árse along with Andy Sheridans.
