You have read a bit of Vonnegut in your time haven't you Lee?

Warburton is only just back from injury which is why Tipuric is starting against Italian. Lydiate isn't on nappy duty either apparently.

He is wearing 7 but playing blindside, the French number their blind/opensides in the same manner as the Saffers. He has been asked to carry ball for them which is almost alien to him, I think getting used to carrying has sapped his defensive energy a bit.

He's been playing left/right apparently so spends half his time at openside ? Not sure though, only going by reports.

I'll take that as a compliment—yeah, he could write couldn't he?
He wrote one of my favourite quotes warning that people should be careful who they pretended to be, because they were who they pretended to be.
Vonnegut and Kerouac, who both wrote about people and their problems after WWII resonate with me.
One of my favourite quotes of Kerouac which I had to look up because it's so long is:
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
Maybe that's what Wales need: a few crazy ones.

Lee my friend.
You have accidentally quoted an Apple ad, which stole the essence of the Kerouac quote. The actual quote is as follows;
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”
Anywho, back to the rah-rah.
Kerouac wrote and said the same message many times in different forms. The quote I used is my favourite version of this theme of his.
Didn't know that Apple used one version of it.
It's good, isn't it?

Right then. Hope springs eternal. After the debacle of the first thirty minutes we played this time last year am glad we're starting title defence with Italy. No real surprises from our man of cement. Glad to see tips gets a start. Another season of gatlandball in prospect. wish we had a world class outside half

Thought about it but it wouldn't let me pick George North in every position 11-14

Gunner may think so. Me not so much.
While the front 5 and back 3 are as good as they could be. But neither of the halves are in great form, I don't rate Duncan Taylor and no Big Al in the Backrow is unfortunate. His work at the Breakdown allows Kelly Brown to play at 7.
Still hope we'll win though.

So we beat Italy and Scotland? Or are we Italy's one win?

How can you be Italy's win if Scotland has no wins?
