I always have Picamoles as its nigh on impossible to pronounce his name like a grownup

Fofana has something like 6 tries in 8 six nations games now

Picha mole is limp dick in portuguese.....The more you know.

I think of him as Limp dick now and snigger to myself from time to time listening to the commentators

On a more serious note. My players are dropping like flys. Limpdick and Nyanga are out for France. Billy Vunipola is out for England. And sexton and POM could be out for Ireland. That's my 5 changes per week gone.
Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014
England A 8 - 14 Ireland A, 25th Jan 2014

Yeah I'm down 7 so far. Think I'll just leave the 2 Italians in place and change the others.

You're not the only one......I was hoping to make some tactical changes....no chance now as I've 5 players out from last round of games.

After my glorious triumph, this season was really about consolidation and I am satified that my team is heading in the right direction. The vote of confidence from the chairman shows that I am heading in the right direction and hey, there's always next season right? ;-)

I pretty much flipped a coin to help me choose between Cuthbert and North on the last day...... My coin failed me badly, was Cuthbert the only player not to score?
