    <p>The other news is the return of Kane Douglas after his RWC knee injury, and Leroy Houston back from Europe.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>They rated him pretty seriously up there, so will be interesting to see how he goes back in the fast lane. 188cm and 114kg which might be slightly better than when he left.</p>

    <p>I don't understand the hype over Leroy's return. He was touted as the next big thing, failed miserably to live up to the hype and disappeared.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>The NH tends to rate anyone up there. He must have had the biggest rugby renaissance in the last couple of years.</p>

    <p>Superstar at Bath they say, but then others will tell you he's not in the top handful of 8th men going around the UK.</p>

    <p>That would be the Bath with a crowded trophy cabinet?</p>

    <p>If he has lost as much weight as that photo indicates then they might be converting him to hooker</p>

    <p>Astute call! Given the mobility and athleticism he displays and the tendency for hookers to be an extra centre in open play, he'd make an excellent modern hooker like Coles or Cronin.</p>

    <p>If you believed what the irish said about Rocky Elsom you'd be forgiven for thinking he went up to the corporate boxes at half time and if anyone was running low changed water into wine. </p>

    To be fair, I even remember watching a few Leinster games and asking myself, surely that can't be Elsom, the same guy that ran upright, had poor handling and was basically being picked by the Tahs more on schoolboy reputation more than anything. <br><br>
    He was excellent for the boys in blue.

    <p>And his scrum concedes a penalty immediately he comes on at tighthead.</p>

    <p>TT lived up to the hype. A great ballrunner, and made a big impression for a young prop. Had good scrums and bad, but reckon he is a future Wallaby.</p>

    But fuck, that had to try hard to force that penalty. If it takes 5 or 6 or 10 seconds to finally break the front for they deserve a medal, for not cheating, not a penalty.<br><br>
    The rules are fucked.
