It appears former Giants greats Bobby Goulding and Garry Schofield are to spearhead the ressurgence of French international rugby. I was sent the following 'quotes':

‘Goulding charmed the audience when he spoke of a new age in French rugby. He compared himself with a young Jean Paul Sartre and said it had long been his ambition to read Proust in French. [It later transpired that his ambition was to be read Proust by (Ray) French]. He explained that all home games would be played in Dax or Lyon because “I can say them place names without making a d!ck of myself”.

‘Schofield clearly wanted to show that he fitted into his new role. At the press conference he wore a black and white hooped shirt, a beret at a jaunty angle and he had a garland of French onions around his neck. Hardened journalists were deeply moved when Schoey explained that he admired the French fighting spirit and fell in love with their culture after watching the BBC 1 documentary “Allo Allo”.

Go for it guys!!

What is wrong with Stotts. The Vice President Leg Ends have used them for 12 years with no problems whatsoever, Compared with Red Arrow they were a lot cheaper too.
