England recall for Mike Catt?

[AFF]

I have watched Mike Catt on a number of occaisions this season, and the man has been in inspirational form for London Irish, and must be in line for the Premiership's Player of the Season. I have also watched a number of the centres in English rugby who are tipped for great things - none of them come close.

 

I've seen Andy Farrell, too. In a suit at Vicargae Road, rather than on the pitch, of course.

 

If Mike Catt is selected for England in a playing role, Robinson should be led away quietly to the nearest lunatic asylum.

Would it not be an idea to include him in the squad to help inject a little of that 'winning mentality'?

I can tell that you're a football man, HM. All this psycho-babble.

 

It's a game, mate. Get out there and win it. That's all the motivation these people should need. You'll be suggesting that someone shoould be employed to clean their boots and iron their shirts, next.

I was actually just repeating what Stuart Barnes was saying on the TV last week. But hey, what does he know.

 

I'm guessing that you are very much an 'old skool' rugby follower AFF?

 

Dirty shirts. Few beers with your opposite number after the game even though he tried to kick you in the head. That sort of thing. No place for proffesionalism in the 'Kick & Clap game' eh mate.

Stuart Barnes is not the world's most respected rugby hack is some circles, HM.

"kick and clap" so true...

 

and the resaon Union shorts have pockets? so they can keep their little hands warm during the game.
