[Bovidae]

Yeah, neither are quite as pale as Tito.

[Machpants]

@Bovidae There are Scottish players not as pale as him!

Well considering they'd have African-born players play for Scotland since the 1880s (James George Robertson) I'm not that surprised!

Note I said Scottish players, not Scotland internationals. Like James Lowe is an Irish International but he's not an Irish player

[nostrildamus]

ooh, subtle. Given that "Scottish' lot have Siberian blood (which explains their liking for husky types) I'm no so sure what "Scottish" means any more.

and given that Scotland allegedly means "land of the Irish"..

@nostrildamus Irish are pasty bastards too

[nostrildamus]

[Yeetyaah]

Fuck I'm quite late on this, but I didn't know Tony Brown was Māori and played for the Māori All Blacks a few years back. Got me by surprise.

[Bovidae]

No news on the extra player yet?

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Haven't seen it.

[Stargazer]

[Bovidae]

Fakatava has finally had a haircut.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae I expected that! Here's hoping that all the (Pasifika and Maori) players get rid of that silly blond and pink dyed hair, too!

[Crazy Horse]

@Bovidae about time. I kept expecting the bloody thing to fall off the way it seemed to bobble around.

[Dice]

@Bovidae I think he just tied it back. On the news, it was still there.

[mofitzy_]

As a spectator it really emphasised how busy and effective he was. Could be a good tactic to get selectors eyes.

@Yeetyaah pāti at Tony Brown’s

@Bovidae That’s pretty, also quite funny coming from Osborne too as he’s pretty fair himself.

Not suffering from a hint of ginge tho

Last time I got punched in the head was by a ginger Maori about 2yrs my senior, c. 1990 on my way home from school. Apparently I was being too cheeky. I didn't punch him back cos I was cheeky but not totally stupid .

Good times.
