Yes. He's clearly as thick as nine planks. Worse, just a very limited rugby player. Why Gatland persists with him I don't know. His manager says he's sought after by other Premiership clubs. M-hm. We'll see.
Armitage D., and his suspension are yet another joke. Three weeks for that punch. Hard, short-range, deliberate, cowardly with Myler on his back and defenceless, straight in the eye. Could have blinded Myler. That the suspension has been tweaked to cover games is only some comfort.
I think Saints are better than you describe - they're not my near-neighbours, after all - but they were given a very easy passage by the French. Their midfield was very effective but they're going to need something more creative from them against the Irish. Should be a monster of a game. I also wish Shane Geraghty would go to another club whose game actually suits him, get his confidence back, and realise his potential. Apparently they've signed Lamb - flakier than even Geraghty's current form - so they seem to have a fondness for players inappropriate to their game style.
