Say what you like about the Frogs but they do exhibit a certain spirit of chivalry even in this rude age. This gesture by the FFR - pulping a match programme at the cost of £220,000 because it contained close-to-the-bone comments about our under-performing colonial inside centre, Riki Flutey - was a superb example of traditional rugger decency in the 21st century. It makes a stark and welcome contrast to the uncouth chirping of colonial oiks like Eugene Hoskins and the risible John O'Neill. Such Old World courtesy is anathema to these poorly bred New World ruffians. Well done, Pierre Camou. You offer yet another reason why the centre of rugger gravity must forever remain in the ancient cities of Europe.

I won't be happy until Dylan Hartley's smooth scrotum is rocking violently up against the inside of Parra's thighs. Nobody will hear Parra’s pathetic snivelling cries because Hartley will have gagged him with his token red sweatband. When Dylan's done, John Hayes will have a go. Just before climax the bull will start to cry, just like he does when he hears the Irish national anthem before a game, and the tears will run down the exhausted and now subservient Parra's back.
The frog needs to be beasted my Lord. He needs it and he deserves it. In fact, the great game of rugby requires it.
That is all I have to say on the French at this time.

Flutey had a poor tournament, and should not be playing rugby for England any more than Brian O'Driscoll should be anyway. His lack of English grounding was badly exposed in Paris, when he was the one player in white who lacked the innate phlegm to stand up to the boisterous, garlic-swigging locals in blue.

Yes, good heavens, Gemini, I like beastings as much as the next man, but this isn't Quentin Queer's Fantasy Corner!

Apologies all. That Poitín is vile stuff.
