:lol: :lol:

I had my last sloe gin at 4am Sunday ..................I have only now dared post. The thought of Banquo sat ready with his dictionary kept me away from the keyboard.

Decent game though ;)

Agreed. I’m very disappointed that you missed my apeing of Dors with his Fancey spelling.
I missed it amongst the anti-Ford propaganda :)

Strange not to mention Kpoku as a 2nd row contender. Do you know if he could opt for France? Apart from watching him for the under-20s and reading that he plays club stuff for Racing, I know nothing about him. It is a touch ironical that he would not be eligible for the seniors because he is based in France.

Just gone back through the thread to see what the f..k p/d was referring to. Sorry not to bite earlier. I usually get accused of too much R, as in farmer or Dorset.

Considering it's an article on Premiership Rugby's website, touting the Premiership's role in producing young English talent, it's not exactly surprising that they've omitted the player who chose to leave the Premiership for France.

I think he'd have to qualify on residency to play for France, so a good few years for an English club to try and lure him back across.
