Why let something naughty get in the way of the enjoyment of the game? I mean where would rugby be without tales of how a giant punch up defeated Apartheid?

Re: Andrew Paulson -- Candidacy for ECF President
Into the fray. I've been monitoring the commentariat and I'm happy to answer all questions myself, no holds barred. I expect to be held to what I say here; so should you.
