    Thats okay.

    I have a counter suggestion.

    Rugby - All Blacks tour amazes the world with their class - One loss, one draw, one win over pure rubbish



    (best I could come up with at short notice)
    It is better to keep silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt

      Pure rubbish? Don't be so hard on yourself.

          They way you said it, it sounded like you were referring to all three as pure rubbish.

          I couldn't let you talk that way about England and France...

            I seem to remember we had some other suggestions derived from cryptic rugby sayings, like "last feet!".
            I remember we had already thought about other things like that, but I don't remember exactly what.

              I see the similarity, but perhaps we should try to distance ourselves from the comparison of rugby tournaments to Nazi operations.

              Don't worry, Finbar will look them up for us.

                You are right, it was just for the fun !

                I had the same thought when I wrote my earlier post.

                  Yeah, no worries.

                  So...how about those old suggestions Finbar?

                    Though a sad result for a Welsh Rugby Team and somehow the worst one for the Welsh Rugby Union which is already experiencing big problems.

                    Jonno has picked his international and young intl players of the year - Wilkinson and McCaw in that order (with a strong mention for the french number eight the the name I would only get wrong if I tried to write it here).
                    Imanol Harinordoquy...

                    Title?? Rugby - England are clear at number one


                    I have the regret to write I won't agree with such a title until the Six Nations Tournament...

                    While we wait a more adequate title would sound like :

                    Rugby - Can England beat France at Twickenham and brag to be number one...

                          The most recent one that attracted interest was Rugby - The Tamerlin Menace.

                          I prefer the ones that incorporate obscure rugby phrases and terminology. It would be especially rewarding if we could incorporate the subjunctive tense - just to give Havak some practice in the form, it's obvious he sat his English A Levels in the last millennium - but the subjunctive doesn't often appear in a rugby ref's vocab.

                          Haven't we already used Rugby - Last Feet!? If not, I would vote for it.

                          Or we could try Rugby - Numbers In The Lineout!.

                          Or, in the same lineout vein, Rugby - Maintain The Tunnel!

                          Or how about Rugby - Collapsing The Maul!?

                          Or Rugby - Held Up Across The Line!?

                          Or Rugby - Accidental Offside!?

                          There's just a few possibilities.

                            No we have not used it, I like it either.

                            Rugby - Wait, wait Gentlemen!

                            Rugby - Quiet Gentlemen!

                            Rugby - Steady, steady!

                            Rugby - Not from the side!

                            Rugby - Ten minutes off!

                            Rugby - Away, away!

                            Rugby - With the shoulders ? Me ?!? Yes, you Mister James

                            ...

                              You like it aussi? "Either" actually belongs with the negative - as in, "I don't like it either". Unless, of course, that was what you meant and you just forgot to insert the "don't"!

                              Rugby - Wait, wait Gentlemen!
                              Or - Rugby - There's The Mark, Gentlemen!.

                                I knew the sentence sounded strange, I now know why.

                                Thank you Finbar !

                                By the way, I like the title !
