    @ Scrumdown:
    Or maybe I even went BRUMBIES by 15.

    Guess someone has to hold the fort for Puma while he’s away enjoying the miserable UK spring weather!

    In fact I think Butch James is so old that he actually played against John Mitchell.

    Maybe Mitchell remembers the bite of the Bulldog Butch shoulder tackle that SBW is trying so hard to emulate.

    Gents, I am now going to close this office up, and get my sorry Lions supporting rear end to the Rub a Dub Dub, (Pub to the uninitiated) where I intend to consume just enough to annoy my wife when I get home.

    Enjoy the weekend’s Rugger chaps.
