rugby is back - thank fuck

Yay rugby has returned!! Tomorrow we will see England v Wales and fuck it that Wales usually play crap in warm ups and get bummed – we can actually watch some glorious rugby. Spenny Dinosaur teeth contacted me early this morning and made this comment

‘just seen the team sheets for tomorrow – I thought you’d already played the Barbarians’
included because
a. its funny
b. topical
c. said by a true blue proud Englishman so I cant be accused of bias against the evil colonial robbing bastards

Yes the first thing you do notice is that the England team does seem to be more of a colonies XV then a merry old England one. We’ve all been at it in the past. We’ve had Irish players that have sounded more English than Boris Johnson and a plethora of the so called kilted kiwis and of course who can forget some of the Welsh players of the past whose only link to the country was that their granddad once stayed in a hotel in Bristol that showed the Welsh news. There are Argentineans who are Italian, Moroccans and Georgians who are French and lets not get into those robbing fuckers down under. What grips the shit a bit here is that out of all the rugby world it is the English that have the biggest playing base to pick from. Excellent age group rugby, excellent professional set up, a twat named Chris Ashton who made me lose fantasy rugby and they also have a strong league so why do they want to trawl the world. It seems a little embarrassing and it must piss off young, excellent home grown players who are left on the bench. Another thing that is shit is that these players aren’t from say Luxembourg or Mongolia where they will never perform the sport on the big stage they are from Samoa NZ and South Africa.
Above: I say you chaps, the first person to hit the target will play fly half on saturday against the sheep shaggers
Anyway that’s by the by – this is still a good English team with lots to offer. Jonny Wilkinson is so English just sitting in the same changing room could make any Johnny foreigner break into some impromptu Morris dancing whilst belittling other cultures for not understanding cricket or speaking English. All eyes are on Tuilagi and yes, the battle between both sets of centres will be awesome but Armitage has a lot to prove and Danny Care may not want to give up the number 9 jersey so easily this time. Stephen Jones gets the nod for his 101st cap. A good solid player who deserves the record of most capped Welshman, he has to get this back line going and Jamie Roberts has to repay the faith that has been placed in him by the Welsh supporters. Not Adam Jones and Not Gethin Jenkins are starting but they play a pretty hard English front row especially now that ‘daddy cocaine’, Matt Stevens is back.

Nothing can be taken from these warm ups at this stage – the one to look forward to is next week where the chess like tactics of the coaches should shine through.

So who is it going to be – I don’t know – just enjoy the rugby.
