Maybe.Mmmmmmmmmmm. Does this explain Tamerlin's absence?
Still the guy isn't really french anyway - he's just one of those border hopping players I dislike so much. I'm sure the rest of the french side are clean as a whistle?
I try not to take myself too seriously.Nice one
Very sorely tempted - but at the moment I need to keep it French related I think.Oh, go on!

Hey Havak - are horizontal black, yellow (or gold) and green stripes (not all of the same width) the colours of an English club jersey? I saw a chap wearing same on an English show tonight and they looked familiar." ... and the following morning I should see the Boks wallop the Wallabies again?" - Havak

They match the club colours of Northampton Saints Finbar. Our nearest (geographically) rivals in the top flight.
Not my favourite jerseys this year.

A-ha! I've seen them a couple of times in replays here. That's where I knew the colours. Later on, the guy was wearing what appeared to be a rugby jersey that seemed to be quartered in red and white. Rugby?" ... and the following morning I should see the Boks wallop the Wallabies again?" - Havak

That one I can't say off the top of my head. Red and white hoops would have been Gloucester but quarters is no top English side certainly. Might be celtic.

NSW beat the Chiefs 35-31 in a Super 12 trial yesterday, did you get to see any of it Finbar? There was no coverage over here at all....people like to cry a lot... - Pekka

Talking about racist comments is a bit exagerated but Imanol should only open its mouth when he has something interesting to say. These comments are indeed silly, useless and detrimental to the French team.Originally posted by Havak
You started this just in time for me to include this link of a racist nature before finishing for today.

I have actually missed the creation of the new thread and the greatest part of my internet time is taken over by the current CtP2 DG.Originally posted by finbar
I notice Tamerlin has been strangely quiet recently. Gone into hibernation in preparation for the Big Match, presumably.
I'am back now!

Hurry up 'til there are some space shuttles left...Originally posted by finbar
Well, yes. Wouldn't a World XV be fun? I'm sure they play rugby on Mars. If only those damn shuttle things would stop blowing up we could get to Mars and organise someone to play our World XV.

Prepare your handkerchiefs gentlemen!Originally posted by finbar
In case they win, I think we should consider ourselves lucky Tamerlin is such a wise, level-headed soul. A rampant, chest-beating Le Bleu might be a bit hard to take.

I think Peter de Villiers has been caught some days after a damn good party, if he had less money I guess he would have been controlled positive with Marijuana.Originally posted by Havak
Too busy at work for a full post but this is an intriguing drug scandal ?
Those controls over the use of helping drugs like cocaine and Marijuana are a bit ridiculous as those drugs can be traced several months back. I can't say anything about cocaine but as far as I am concerned I have once played a Volley Ball game after having smoked some Marijuana and I can assure you that though it is fun it doesn't help at all to play better. I would rather say it is the contrary as the ball is more difficult to catch (curiously enough it goes faster) and the crowd is looking at you in a strange way (at least this is what you think at this very moment).
The IRB should rather bother about the real dope. Tell me about anabolyzers (not really sure of this word
) and I woud be very disappointed by this player who is really French by the way as he has been naturalized.

TAMERLIN! YOU SMOKED MARIJUANA!? I'M SHOCKED!!
Just joking
I agree that it's a bit silly that players are penalized for taking drugs that don't enhance their performance, but then again, perhaps it's in the interests of rugby in general that we don't have stoned players on the field. It's bad enough looking at the ugly mugs of the likes of Anton Oliver without them having red eyes too!

Very interesting note in the international part of this week's Midi Olympique.
Rudolf Straeuli has punished five Springboks because of their violent behavior and anti-game acts this autumn, some of them have even been fined:
- James Labuschagne
- Corne Krige (captain)
- Robbie Fleck
- Butch James (surprise!)
- Werner Greef
Rudolf Straeuli added "they know we will be watched over during the Super 12 and the recidivists won't play the World Cup. We will no more excuse anti-game and brutality. We can not afford us to live a year like the one we have lived'.
Mark Lawrence, representing the SA referees, has dubbed the SA Super 12 referees as too lenient: "Our players are branded all around the world because of us".
Is this the beginning of a healthy revolution? I hope so.
