I guess what he meant is that we have plenty decent wingers in our game just now. Hall, Briscoe, Burgess, Eden, Broughton, Lineham, Swift, Johnson etc, which is a fair point.

Don't forget Jamie peacock asking for rangi chase to be called Roger. That was insulting and so ignorant. How it went pretty unoticed I don't know.

Rangi should have told him the days of the empire are long gone and he can shove his English name roger where the sun don't shine.

God knows what he would have done if we had a player called Mohammed or Khalid in the England squad.

call him Mo or Ahmed, kal populer shortening of muslim names. calling rangi roger is just a joke. like joey johns freddie fittler, alfie langer

Didn't Ikram Butt once make the England squad back in the late 80s, early 90s? Or did I imagine that?

Not sure its institutional racism as such in Union, even though its the code of choice in fascist countries. Not sure its the drunken behaviour in itself, more probably it wasn't conducted in the proper manner with the correct public school songs, chants and rituals. You can't have too many of these common types around (unless they are really good) and the England RU are probably deluded enough to think that they are good enough at the moment to get away without them.

Anyway Solomona has that RL stain on him that will always make him unwelcome amongst the worst types in yawnion. Not that I feel the slightest bit sorry for him, he chose to go there.

Meh! He's RUs problem now!

Is Te'o next or can he go on a training camp without getting bladdered?

Mid-90s IIRC. Just around the time he was banged up in chokey.
