    <p>There's certainly room for improvement Bones! The thing is that he's got a pretty good engine and a decent turn of speed for such a larder.<strong> I sometimes wonder if for some guys it is enough to be the best in their club/province/test team rather than the best they can be?</strong> Woodward had a good comment (it can happen) prior to the Italy game in regard to Matt Dawson. Basically he showed Dawson a list of the England scrum-halves in order or preference with Dawson as No1. Dawson was naturally quite chuffed with this, then Woodward turn the list over and said "But if these guys (Marshall, Gregan, Joost etc) were English, you wouldn't even be in the training squad". Thankfully this was not lost on Dawson.</p>

    Sir Clive often speaketh bollocks, but that perticular anecdote I thought was extremely good value from him. <br><br>
    What you wrote above in bold basically sums up English rugby for me.</p>

    <p>It does beggar belief. He's actually got a good skill set but fuck me mate, take a look at yourself. How can I up my game? Well I could be fitter. No shit!</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>As regards him being an international, he was picked by Andy Robinson, so that doesn't count.</p>

    When he made his comeback game recently, one of the commentators asked co-presenter David Flatman for highlights of the match. He pointed to the amazing fact Goode had made it through the first half without requiring serious medical attention.

    <p>To be fair to England and Andy Goode, the All Blacks were picking our own Tub of Lard Piri Weepu at half back until a couple of years ago.</p>

    That England shirt could be more high tech than we ever realised...

    Actually, I'm a long-standing fan of Andy Goode, so much more useful to English rugby than our similarly initialled reserve fullback/centre and god-help-us-if-it-comes-to-it wing. <br><br>
    On the subject of former Wasps flyhalves, I see that The Prodigal is returning from Sale next season. Good for Wasps, good for England (if Eddie has the stones to pick him), but I imagine Steve Diamond must be a bit pissed off. Mind you, he's had good service out of Danny.

    I wouldn't know. A mate told me that his mate's mate might use one of these. Honest.
