Just to be clear, who's nicknamed Tyros?
Unfortunately when the teams went to put in their orders, they only had the yellow colour swatch to pick from.
"Knock on into touch by numer 3 canary yellow. What's your option school bus yellow? Scrum or lineout?"

The answer you seek is Sam Carter.
Expressing an opinion has resulted in some in the forums deciding to apply the word as a nickname for Sam. The word has a connotation to age of the person being described. An example of its use from the Oxford dictionary: “I would, and do, recommend this as the best book for the tyro, the student, the general reader, and even, in a revisionary context, for the expert”.
I still can't believe that out of the options of Super Donkey and tyro, you thought tyro was the offensive one!

It would be akin to me reading Horwill described as a "veteran" and saying that it mast be a swipe and James saying he's well past it.

So your telling that both words are offensive but you are surprised by which one offends more!

I think you have the wrong thread,
Ironically, since the announcement of the Wallabies squad and Horwill missing out, this topic has been discussed in the Wallabies / Reds forums.

Dibber- dobber!
The temptation of a witty retort about the power of a word.......its use.........the debate that can stem from interpretation and use of some words ......but alas I don't have any evidence or example to back up my opinion........and I took the advice given in the forum last week; move on from my self created storm in tea cup that nobody cares about.

I had no idea that local coaches are involved - and glad they are but would like to see more involved if possible.

Websites quite good for a new product and hope that it continues to be populated with more information and continues to be updated.
The Jersey looks like its well tailored and Asics have made a fairly good product. Seems to fit well and be apt for the site. I think the rest of what could be said doesn't need to be said.

Might go some way to help settle the debate about the colour(s) - picture tell a thousands words and next to the other teams people may reconsider the choice.

So the conquest starts!
The Perth spirit in a few weekends time - they will be going home with that empty feeling after the UC Vikings pillage them of everything including every last ounce of spirit they possessed.
The only spirit they will ever find after the game is the one that will visit them every night for for seasons to come; the spirit of "games past".
These visits from the spirit of "games past" will leave a imprint in their minds for all the days to come.....and in time, the players will warn those players yet to face the UC Vikings of what they will experience.
In describing the horror that is to be faced, they will describe "that nightmarish image" which hunts them.........
