Quote: PHIPPS "Unless you like Rugby League you will never have heard of the Crusaders.
I was having a beer with a bloke after work the other day who is a Leicester Tigers RU fan and we were talking about Gareth thomas and the Mickey Rourke film. The conversation went a bit like this.
[i"Heard about that film Mickey Rourke is doing about Gareth Thomas Mick??"
"Yes I did hear Dave. He was a good player too."
"He is still playing mate"
"What? He left the Blues ages ago!"
"Yeah he plays for the Crusaders now"
"What... he has gone to New Zealand? I watch S15 but I've never seen him? You sure?"
"Nooooo ... The Crusaders.. in Wrexham... not the Crusaders S15 side."
"Who the hell are they?"
"Rugby League side? Play out of Wrexham?"
"Never heard of them Dave. Another Stella?"
'Cheers mate.. don't mind if I do. Line 'em up.. I'm just off for a slash" [/i
Sadly thats what happened.'"
That's outrageous. Drinking Stella.
