Are England as bad as we think??

I hear you guys (Saints) are playing against the freaking Pumas this February.
How did you land that one?
That's a great match.

No idea. We have a nice ground mabye.

Or perhaps the legend that is Freddie Mendez had a word with someone.

Maybe Mendez can give Thompson a kick up the arse then.

Well, it's a great catch either way, i'm sure that's going to bring in a good audience.
Any ideas whether the teams are gonna play it like Ospreys and Australia did, or are they going to field first teams?
How can the Saints fit the match into their schedule at february time?

 

[Bullitt]

Supposedly it's a first team game as Argentinas building up to the WC. They play the Cheetahs 4 days later n'all, although thatone isn't on Sky.

 

[Rugby_Cymru]

Do you mean the Cheetah's as in the Super 14 team?
Or is there some English team called the Cheetahs that i'm not aware of...

 

[Bullitt]

That's Leicester Tigers, who have a reputation for cheating. Hense Cheetahs as opposed to Tigers.

Ahh...gotcha!

Are there nicknames for all English clubs?

I mean, the Welsh have them, but only 2 of them are appropriate.

Scarlets - Arseclets (I think that was just some bitter Osprey supporter, it's pretty crap)
Dragons - DragQueens (Can't even begin to think how they came up with that one)
Blues - Bluezzzzzzzzz (A good one, because i have vivid memories of some awful Cardiff games)
Ospreys - Hair-spreys (Henson leading the way on that one)

 

[Bullitt]

Most of them have a nickname or 3 in England;

Bath = Barf (figure that one out for yourself, I may be called a small minded Northamptoner for saying anything bad about Barf )
Newcastle Falcons = Budgies (being as a bird of prey is a bad analogy)
Northampton Saints = Stains (due to our exempelary discipline! :lol: )
Leicester Tigers = Cheetahs (because they're cheats), Boring
Wasps = Bugs (because they annoy everyone), Strolling Minstrels (They never keep a home ground)
Harlequins = Harlequeens, Hairy Queens
Gloucester = Glassdoor (because when they get smashed, they really get smashed)
Sale = Goldfish
London Irish = Plastic Paddys, Boring
Saracens = Fezheads (Thank you, Tommy Cooper)


Only Worcester and Bristol have avoided the nasty nicknames, unless anyonce can correct me on those 2.

Also, some Stadia have some names (can't remember all of them);

The Recreation Ground = The Wreck
Welford Road = Wellbad road
Causeway Stadium = The Lost Cause
Vickerage Road & Edgeley Park = Crappy football ground

There are some quality nicknames there. I like it very much.
