Strettle who I have always rated has thrown the towel in, is he a man of principle or is there some thing rotten in the england camp

Good question. Whilst you can see the logic of getting settled in France it seems odd that he'd pass up even an outside chance of playing in a home RWC.

With the proliferation of injuries these days it doesn't take much for a fringe player, or even someone not in the squad, to suddenly find themselves parachuted into the starting line-up.

Stephen Donald springs to mind.

Check your phrases Gordo!!!

I am absolutely [b]busting a nut[/b] to get into the squad, and not just into the squad but into the starting line-up,

@aa 10 years ago wow. My boss was in the first few rows right by the incident, he to this day cannot believe the touch judge didn't flag. He says the incident ruined the whole tour for him which was for his 50th

All Blacks looking good, come from behind win on J'berg.

ABs and SA playing a different game - awesome rugby. Pace, physicality, and loved the McCaw line out move. Brilliant!

If you've got five minutes to spare - this is a great story:
