As those who know Rumpole's Ghost (RG hereafter) will attest if there's one thing I am good at it is talking shite!!! I am particularly good at talking shite about rugby.

So starting off here are some basic facts about rugby that RG will not accept as disputed.
  1. The All-Blacks are awesome. All other teams must bow before the mighty AB's. I will not hear any comments to the contrast.
  2. Munster can beat anyone.
  3. John 'The Bull' Hayes does not know how to quit.
  4. Leinster are a shower of over inflated, choking ladyboys.
  5. Dr Contepomi is unable to play well against Munster.
  6. Dan Carter is the best Fly-half in the world.
  7. Soccer players are tossers.
  8. Martin Johnson is a w*nker.
  9. Percy Montgomery is NOT South African
  10. Paul O'Connell is a very serious man.
  11. Declan Kidney is a rather good coach.
  12. Michael Cheika is not.
  13. David Knox is full of shit.
  14. Scotland will never again win a Six Nations.
  15. Mirco Bergamasco is seriously underrated.
  16. Backs are always at fault.
  17. Europeans cannot prop.
  18. For England see fact number 4.
  19. There is no pride in beating Connacht only shame in defeat.
  20. David Wallace cannot play badly.

I hope you can accept these rugby truths. Then we shall get along fine -- just fine.
