Hi Gareth. Sadly not. Lots of bad language and adult references

It was pointed out to me he runs like an Olympic speed walker. Now you’ll never unsee it.

Bit of Larkham, bit of Honniball. Some Sexton and a drop of Serge Blanco.

I had nominated Matt Williams for a Pulitzer yesterday but I’m retracting and nominating you instead.

I was guilty of my disagreements on test selections affecting my enjoyment of the last tour (Adams v Duhan, Liam v Hogg, Navidi overlooked, Finn barely involved Murray as captain...) This time I just want a successful and entertaining tour after how bad 2021 was.

I don't think people can argue too much with the (justified) selection of a load of Irish players. I would, however, be pretty disappointed if Farrell lines up at 10 in the first test. Says a lot about the sort of rugby we'll be watching.

Curry and Underhill...sigh. Curry barely played last season and, in the games, I've seen has been nowhere near the player he was. For example, he was a ghost v Glasgow. Underhill puts in the occasional decent performance between lengthy periods being injured.

Not going to argue with you. I'd say the 2 unluckiest Scots would be Cummings and Darge. We're a significantly poorer side without either of them.
