    It would appear England's finest are with the majority here. Sorry Spen666
    I want to hear from Cambridge and Hull. Everyone knows Oxford's a complete dump! :P


    Oh bring it on light blue... stand up if you hate the tabs... stand up if you hate the tabs...

    OK, I may have been drinking all day a little bit... so what? I mean really...

    Dark blue rules! Take that tabland!

    :D:D

    Oh poor, misguided youth... :P

    Apparently the word out in the Fens is that they only lost due to being unable to sell as many secrets to the Russians as they normally do. Credit crunch is biting, even in the heart of gay traitordom.

    What would Thora Hurd do?

    It's all cyclical. Like Oxford's habit of bringing in former Internationals. That dies out, but it's back now.

    A former AB, for FFS! At least this one hadn't captained the ABs to a RWC win...

    Edit to add: one of my mates recently emigrated to NZ. He'd played a bit over here, and got roped into a firm's annual fixture against their rivals. He's never playing again. He said he'd never been in a game so fast. Both sides had a healthy contingent of Pacific Islanders, who were hard as. One player had played Super 14, and, yes, it *did* make a difference having him on your side.

    Yeah, 'tis a bit sad... but then I do like rugby, and a bit of healthy rivalry does you good!

    Let me guess... prop forward?

    Yeah, Cambridge would never bring in ringers on spurious degree courses to strengthen their team.... oh no wait... :wink:

    Actually TBH it becomes a bit of a joke at times. When I was there, the blues were almost all at Kennel college - yes, that's right the one they set up to offer unusual degrees to people who are really good at rugby...

    I offered her a bag of crisps and a lager top.

    She said no.

    It's north of that fellas I'm afraid.
