| One area that Union can't point the finger at us is with International Eligability and Selection .... IIRC, Gower is selected via a grandparent ruling ? Their criteria is a joke.
Just in the same way that well-know Englishman, Henry Paul got a game for the rah-rahs. They have a residency ruling ... Basically, live there long enough and you can play for 'em. They even ignored the fact that most of the time he was here, he was playing a certain other code they don't like to mention.
I will of course totally agree with the idea, when that popular Frenchman Clint Greenshields turns out for Les Blues in the Quad Nations RL at the end of the season.

I agree their criteria is a joke but are we ignoring a certain Southern Hemisphere player who has turned out for England in recent seasons?
I wouldnt have a problem with residency if say someone came to England aged 10 then played for England aged 25 but for 5 years to be enough is a bit of a joke.

Rubbish ... I knew him when he was really Maurice Fisher, a plumber from Prescott
He came up with the name to make himself more 'interesting' with the ladies. He always used to start on any job by doing the toilets first, so when clients asked him what he'd done already he used to reply by going [i"So far, the loo"[/i and the name stuck (not unlike his pipework then).

You're half right. He was a bloody cowboy plumber though. Spent most of the time sat on his Iestyn, he had occasional burst of energetic work where he would make great strides, then would go back to sitting on his Iestyn.
