[QUOTE="Danny innit, post: 375980, member: 47880"] What a load of rubbish! Stirling Mortlock, may be 33, but given Tindall still plays international rugby at the same age, it's a bit premature to write him off. As for your comments on Gareth Delve, you obviously never saw him Captain against Saracens, and weren't following the news prior to his departure to Oz ([URL]http://www.walesonline.co.uk/rugbynation/rugby-news/2011/01/16/gareth-delve-fits-rebel-cause-in-bid-to-fulfil-world-cup-dream-91466-27993093/[/URL]). You say Michael Lipman is past it, but with the amount of time out of the game he's taken, who's to know? Stevens is back with you lot after a much longer lay off, Higgins is doing well at Exeter and Crockett seems to be first choice wherever he goes. I'd genuinely not support any one of those guys if they pulled on Cherry & White. Especially fat Matt. Greg Somerville old? Again, you couldn't have been following the news much. The NZRU competed with the Rebels for his signature in the hope he'd return home to be their first choice tight head for the world cup. He's also the most capped AB front rower and is hugely respected in the Southern Hemisphere. As for Cipriani, from the times I saw him play, I always thought the hype was greater than the player.
