Under Shag, Cane got left out of the starting line-up of a WC semi-final.

Yeah, the one bloke who would have caused England serious problems from the word go.

That loss still rankles with me - and not just for the Cane omission. Some of the dumbest play I've seen from an AB team for years, mainly from the senior players

It’s taken me a long time to accept that Sam Whitelock might be a decent captain after his facepalm to Farrell late on, which effectively ended what little glimmer of hope we might have had of pinching that match

I don't blame him for that - it was a ridiculous intervention by the referee.

Farrell was being a prick. But he bit the bait

Pretty much 1/3 of all of the AB metres earned from these two boys.

Entirely predictable, though.

Exactly. We could have got an extra 10m closer because of Farrell's behaviour and instead we got a penalty against us and were back in our half without the ball very soon thereafter.

That's not in contention. It's the bullshit reversal from Owen that's the issue.

I agree. But in the current climate the retaliator almost always gets pinged. So we can argue but at the end of the day he needs to keep his discipline there
