    Vakatawa

    I recall reading an article about Vakatava being born in NZ but moving back to Fiji as a very young child. In my memory his mother got unsettled after 9/11 - and wanted to move back home.

    But that would make him about 9 years old. I thought I read he was a baby when he moved back.

    Just done a google search, but found nothing. I wonder if my memory is playing tricks on me.

    Wait. No.
    I think that was Uini Atonio.

    Yes. "We all left for Samoa because of the Y2K at the end of 1999,"

    Y2K, not 9/11.

    Wili Heinz out of the England squad with a leg injury. Northampton's Alex Mitchell (uncapped) replaces him a Halfback options alongside Ben Youngs and Dan Robson

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/54719707

    "Heinz joins a growing list of unavailable players, with Exeter hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie, club-mate Jack Nowell, Saracens' Elliot Daly, Leicester fly-half George Ford and Harlequins prop Joe Marler also out of the game in Rome. Northampton lock Courtney Lawes and Sale centre Manu Tuilagi are long-term absentees."

    Your inference being Watson > Tipuric? Good as he is, not sure I buy that one.

    Getting ready for tomorrow's overdose of Rugby. Mrs M doing a pork roast (English pork is bloody great), I've uncorked a decent Pinot and there's a log fire going.

    Oz-AB at a decent time in the morning and then 6N's in the afternoon. My idea of Heaven.

    Four days, three spellings of Willi, and NOT ONE DICK JOKE. FFS people, lift your game.

    I always hear "Willy Hides" and it is a euphemism for shagging, like "hide the sausage".

    Made worse if you use a Mex-ism, like "Willy Hides has just come inside" - insert player name.

    Hadn't even thought about 6N just the Bled. Have some planning to do.

    Based on current form, Watson is streets ahead

    Scotland beating Wales 3-0 after 30 minutes. Scoreline flattering Wales. Scotland have bossed this so far.

    40 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

    Shitter than shit.

    Just started raining here in Llandeilo (up the road). Second half will be a greater mess.

    Scotland should be 2-3 scores ahead
