Dear Wayne, we’re sorry, you caught us. We did actually try to pick a rugby team capable of imposing a physical presence. Not a threat, merely a presence. It’s been tried before, but we thought it might work this time.
Furthermore, we regret any ill feeling this may create between out two nations – long standing rugby allies.
Maybe we’ve just been caught up in the emotion of the League World Cup? Y’know? Big blokes making massive hits? Maybe that’s it.
Cross has played league you know? So has Barnesy, but his wing is still hurting, so he’s not running on.
As something of a peace offering, an olive branch if you will, let me make this suggestion: how about you pick some big player with number 3 or 5 on his back who can protect Dan way out on the wing in defence and then let the little fella slip back into the line when you have the pill.
Sound good?
Again Wayne, we’re really sorry. Picking men for a national rugby team who can impose a physical presence is wrong and we’d like to apologise. Sorry.
Oh, and Wayne, we do rate your little guy, Isaia Toeava. We rate anyone your fine rugby brain would put out on a park in the esteemed black strip of your fine, grand and proud nation.
You’re a great bloke.
