It's hard to find a Silvertail with mongrel these days, there's too many blokes with a private school education :fishing
Mongrel – what is it? who has it? is it warranted?

The perception of being a mongrel is often more important than what you actually do.
Justin Harrison and Owen Finnegan were always perceived by me to add that mongrel to the pack but when I look back I cant remember too many incidents to back that up. Maybe Harrisons stoush with Austin Healy during the Lions tour but that was mostly sledging.
I saw Harrison play a game for Bath whilst in the UK a few years ago and he did seem to be always niggling the opposition and provoking scuffles maybe thats what being a mongrel is.

Mediocrity would be the word I would use Groucho. Dumbing things down to the lowest common denominator (and I say this as a product of the state school system). My kids will be going private at high school level if we can afford it. Maybe then my son will come to the correct realisation that rugby is the one true game.

That's the one. About three punches from Johnson in, with Stringer still unbothered, you could see Johnson thinking, "What the fuck is going on here...?"
