Correct decision but based on quaranteening not bollocking

This Welsh team is rubbish. Their forwards are slow and clumsy, their backs pedestrian and have no organization whatsoever in defence.
After a slow start, the French attack and work at the breakdown were impressive. Big game from Baille, Dupont, N'tamack and Vakatawa. Did you know that the latter was NZ born ?@cgrant said in NH International Rugby:
Vakatawa. Did you know that the latter was NZ born ?
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.

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.

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
