@mariner4life 2nd dark day I had at Twickers that one
really? I would have thought it was a cracking day out? Yes we lost, but when the touring party was named, and then the team, surely expectation was out the window, and then to nearly burgle it?

losing always takes the shine off a big day like that, plus, I had an 0/2 record of watching us at Twickers!
More so as I was with my English/Irish boss so I needed to behave....once I got to the pubs after was great fun!

@mariner4life Yeah, there were no expectations on that team. Bitchell and Deans took away an AB team captained by a guy they both actively disliked and with a midfielder they at best begrudgingly used even though he was by far the best in the country.
Then there were a bunch of one or two test ABs and some young guys who were going to be decent long term ABs - in the future.

That over the shoulder tackle by Cohen would probably warrant a penalty try these days!

Cully was an underrated defensive player due to most people not seeing past his attack.
We missed him at the back on a certain day at Twickenham.

It's not Cohen's fault that Blair was a leprechaun disguised as a Rugby player....
