outstanding try by Tom Biggs for England in the London 7s q/f against the all blacks today

Next time a league player gets a lenient hearing from the judiciary just before a big cup game, don't all cry "only the RFL would do something like that"... news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_u ... 414641.stm A four week ban commuted down to 7 days because there's a final on the horizon.

Can't wait for the BBC to stop creaming themselves over that Dayglo fella. Would anyone in another sport get a free pass for what he got caught by the News of the World doing?

According to the BBC he was young and was tricked into doing it so that makes it ok for them.

Wooooo well done Wasps and a great farewell to Lawrence

Oh right. Makes me laugh. Hypocrites.

Yes, 'stung by the tabloids' was the phrase used on radio 5.

Didn't that happen to Martin Johnson once a few years back ?

What was he caught doing then?

As far as I recall it was the heinous crime of "talking bollox whilst trying to trap off".
I for one would not want to be held to account for all the tripe I spouted in the past whilst trying to gain access to an attractive young lady's knickers.

Yes and his ban conveniently ran out the day before an England match.

'Habana suffered a serious shoulder injury after scoring a try against the Stormers on Saturday. He should be out of action for at least four weeks.'


I've never heard 'shock' described as a 'shoulder injury' before.

They are a disgrace to the country. Send them home.

Burn them

Same happened when our cricket team was on tour.

We are just a nation of pi$$heads who get ourselves into dangerous situations.

So union now is the new football after all!

Put them on the next slave ship to the colonies.

Penalty to NZ after 45 seconds. 3-0.

New Zealand 44-12 England

Party time at the Hilton for the lads

Don't bring them back. They are a disgrace. And a joke. Johnson out.

Rob Andrew needs his ar$e slapping after his poor performance at "running" the tour.

If ever a team on the field reflected its management then it was England in New Zealand. Devoid of ideas beyond hoof it and chase, poor in defence and negative in all facets of the game.

Yup.
