French and Irish "journalists" and "fans" are a pox on rugby. A plague on both their houses, whiny fluffybunnies.

Agree on the Irish. But the best rugby journalism on the planet is all in French. Do yourself a favour and Run the last two issues of L’Equipe through google translate.

Seems as good a place as any for my favourite rugby great interaction of this RWC. As we’re leaving SDF one night, there’s a huge crowd waiting to take pictures with one former AB.
Hoping it was Sir Richie, I take my boys over. Quelle bloody surprise, it’s the Beaver. He was being a real gent. All the time in the world for everyone.
Standing a little way off is a big fella, chainsmoking. So I leave my boys to get their picture and shake the great angler’s hand, to join this fella for a cheeky sport stick.
It’s Jerome Fucking Kaino. Says it’s always like this.
Come to think of it, we met a fairly decent backrow over the course of our 10 days: Richard Hill, Jerome Kaino, Skinstad and Leguizamon. No out and out openside, but I’d take my chances.

Who would you put on the bench? I’m thinking Skinstaad for broken field impact.

Kaino looks bigger in the flesh doesnt he ?
We walked towards each other on a footpath in Newmarket a few days before the 11 WC final , he was wearing a singlet , a big raw boned bastard

Was a bit of a fan of Halfpenny. Didn't realise he'd lasted this long.

Great player, though I thought him a better winger than fullback. Deservedly player of the series for the Lions in Aus.
Suffered badly with injuries so much so that it made you wonder if he went on that bit too long. Although that is a common occurrence. I did it myself without quite hitting the same highs as Leigh.

His goal kicking was outstanding on the Aussie lions tour. Long since past his best but was fab back in the day.
