The Godfather v The Cork should be interesting.

Nacho nacho man, I want to be, a nacho man!

Return to positive home form for us today I think/hope. I'm sure Juan won't want to upset either his older brother or the side he'll be signing for in the summer...

 

[Sir Speedy]

Meh, Sale are without too many crucial players, so I can't see them winning any thing 'til after the 6N to be honest... At least Murray's not there to throw the Sale scrum all over the field.

38-3, I think that sounds like an emphatic return to form.

****!

Has to be gutting for everyone involved with Sale to watch Ben Foden put in a Man of the Match performance whilst cutting their (albeit depleted) defence to pieces. Typical the team puts in a performance like that the weekend before I go home to visit the family for Easter as well.

Foden as an outsider for a Lions spot?

 

[Bullitt]

Tehehehe. That Foden chap's not bad as a scrum-half playing out of position... St. Andre should have realised that!

That is all.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Well we were depleted going into the match, and we come out with about five more injuries.
Neat. Result was pretty predictable in fairness. I hate Foden.

 

[Bullitt]

Tehehehehehehehe.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Just to be very bitter, I hope L'Équipe's report today saying Lobbé has signed for Toulon are true so that the Saints don't get him.

 

[Bullitt]

Be nice if we did.

But Wilson made JM his ***** yesterday!
