Is Stuart Barnes the fattest ever test level first five?
I quite liked Barnes as a player
I can’t really remember him tbh . He might have suffered one too many concussions if his columns are anything to go by .

@jegga he was around with Rob Andrew.
Barnes was more likely to run the ball.
Think he was a victim of that '89 (?) defeat to Scotland where Englang smashed the 5N but lost the GS decider at Edinburgh.
They were fun to watch that year, (and when they tore Aus apart at the end of 88).
Barnes was at 10 for those good games.
England decided to go with Andrew after that and got really boring.
But he's become a typical NH troll once he hit the media. (I recall he gained some respect in NZ 2011 by being relatively fair and balanced, but lost it come the Final where his desired result became apparent .)

@booboo Good one, Stu. A little country at the bottom of the world that has won three World Cups, held the #1 rank for like the last decade, and has a bulging trophy cabinet. Only a complete knob would take your advice.
As others have noted, any time spent on deciding what to refer to the dudes in black means Madame Aura had already moved into the penthouse apartment. -

Andrew Mehrtens in his fat f*** period is definitely worth an honourable mention.
With the lambchops it's referred to as Mehrts' Fat Elvis Period, something something Robbie Deans' wife.
Still better than Carlos.

He’s as fat as Barnes now, his defence was suspect as times but could always tackle a deep fried peanut and bacon sandwich.

Maybe when playing us they should avoid eye contact too, that will help not being sucked into the black vortex of our souls.
Ooh, ooh, they should avoid touching us too, that is where the bad ju-ju starts!
10/10. Arguably the Fern post which has made laugh out loud the most.

The best one was when we did the haka in the changing sheds at Cardiff
Actually the best bit was the big screens at the Millennium Stadium showing the AB Haka from changing sheds about 15 minutes into the game.
Talk about laugh...

Got to admit no one came out of that looking particularly good

If they weren't so concerned about our aura it wouldn't have even been a thing. These teams are missing the point. The haka is a sign of respect, only the best get to fact it. Celebrate and enjoy the challenge. The french have the right idea

Holy shit, they've realised the abs are mortal!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haven't read the article yet, but Kitson is one of the better rugby writers in the UK. Hope he isn't going down the Mick Cleary click-bait route.

No idea, I only read the headline these days.

It’s s good article and the points are fair.
Biggest problem is writing for the guardian
