I'm just going to leave these here

Tommaso Benvenuti:

Yep, I'd let him sample my puttanesca! Ohhh double entendre...sorry mom

PS I really love the name Tommaso.

Tom Croft:

If you're not fanning yourself by this point, what ARE you doing here?

ew, why is James Haskell in this picture?

Tommy Bowe:

I'm kind of amused at how tiny Ronan O'Gara is

I'd really love to know what is SO funny.

...Donnacha's probably behind it, isn't he always?

Tom Wood Pulls a Tommy Bowe but is Completely Sober

He's a hottie isn't he? But I'm a little worried for Tom Croft, Wood's been fantastic for England, I mean not many coaches would pull a player on a hot streak, you know? But on the other hand Croft is not only young, and extremely talented but he's also more experienced, so there's that. Ahhh dilemma!

James Haskell knew this would happen...

Hot Muscular Men Sweating, Working Hard

Featuring: Kelly Brown (Scotland), Luke Fitzgerald (Ireland), Alun Wyn Jones (Wales), and Simon Shaw (England)...oh and some other dude.



What I wouldn't give for AWJ to tackle and tie a rope around me...TMI? Sorry but he looks sooooo good in this video. RAWR! But Kelly Brown seriously has the most epic eyebrows I've ever seen!

The 6 Nations Started Last Week

and I'm fashionably late, errr, anyway. Didn't get to watch any games at all because last weekend was super busy (hence the lack of posts) but here are the results and what little comments I can make from not watching the games.

England vs Wales:


England beat Wales and I sort of guessed that would happen, sorry Welsh fans, but only because I had a feeling that they would, no other reason.
Final Score: 26-19

Ireland vs Italy:


This was a close one. Italy were sooo close! Its a shame they didn't win. Sorry Irish fans but you should know by now that I have a soft spot for the underdogs. Plus Andrea Masi is REALLY hot!
Final Score: 13-11

France vs Scotland:


Another close one! As pretty as French rugby players are, I wanted Scotland to win. Denied again! But I must say I have a good feeling about Scotland, sure they lost but they did quite well in the Autumn internationals, it always seems to be a case of "almost but not quite", how frustrating.
Final Score: 34-21

Tommy Bowe Videos!

In this one he talks about Ireland and the 6 nations:



In this one he's half naked:



I don't think there's anything to discuss really, only that Tommy Bowe is damn fine!

I'm not even worried

Looks like Tom Croft will miss the start of the Six Nations, and his replacement will most likely be James Haskell and his mouth. The reason I'm not worried is that if/when Tom is fit Haskell will be regulated to the bench, maybe even to the stands. Enjoy it while it lasts Haskell, because you know everyone will just be counting the minutes till Tom takes to the pitch.

Roosters and Shamrocks!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! And since its St. Paddy's day and since I haven't posted in a while here is my prediction for the final.

France & Ieland for the Six Nations final? y/y?


...

I was totally expecting England to fall apart but Wales???? I did not see that one coming at all. How disappointing! And please Italy don't be last, you have some of the best hair in this tournament, make it count!


btw: I thought about using the other word for rooster, for the title of this post but that would have sounded like an Irish smut film. It even rhymed too! Damn, that would have been so good. Too bad that word has a different connotation...there's a joke in there somewhere, the door is open but I'm not walking in! This blog will not stoop to that...yet.

Anyway, what are your predictions?

Six Nations Round Up

I didn't watch the Six Nations games this weekend. Real life once again got in the way but apparently I missed quite the weekend...DAMMIT.

France beat Ireland 33-10, justifying their flamboyance and never failing arrogance.

England barely beat Italy 17-12. I just have to say my only wish for this year's Six Nations is that Italy is not last.

Lastly, on to the most exciting game of the weekend, Wales were able to wear down Scotland in the dying minutes of a game with a result of 31-24. Poor Scotland, it was totally their game but noooo, Wales were a bunch of meanies and had to take everything or themselves! As if its their job or something pffttt!

So I guess the boys were really happy with their win and decided they wanted to celebrate. So much so that a few of them got a little foolish...and when I say a few I mean Andy Powell.



So Andy 'Butterface' Powell was arrested for drunk driving after Wales' emphatic win over Scotland. He apparently was driving a golf cart (???) whilst drunk, and attempted to drive it on the highway/freeway/motorway...Is he trying to be the next Mike Phillips or what? This is disconcerting because I actually like Andy Powell and this type of behaviour, Andrew is not very becoming. Next you`ll be dating an overrated, annoying popstar.

So any way Pow Pow has been subsequently dropped from the Wales squad for the time being. There are those critics who are saying that this could be the end of his international career, a bit dramatic don`t you think? The aforementioned Mike Phillips was arrested twice, I believe, and if it were not for his injury he would definitely be playing. Leave it to the sports journalists to be overly dramatic with their analysis, I know its their job, and sports are like REALLY serious by come on now, the end of his international career? Bitch, don`t even front!

I personally think he`ll be back to play for Wales at some point because they`re in the business of winning and Andy Powell is a good player! Just for the record Pow Pow is apparently a huge momma`s boy, even though he lives on his own she still does his washing and cleaning...WHAT, it was in a news article, I wasn`t creeping! If I`m going to troll for info on any rugby player it sure isn`t Andy Powell, sorry Pow Pow I just don`t like you in that way.

The Trip, Neathdertal Fist Pumps, and Wilko's Public Washroom Squat, Mark Cueto's a Babe

I'm a bit late on the train with this one but I had a busy weekend and then I had a busy week with school but all of that is over with and I can now devote my attention the the disappointing game that was England v Wales.

Mark Cueto's a babe by the way!

Did you guys watch the game? Weren't you expecting more? Just more all around? I was severely unsatisfied with the game that is until I went online and saw all the crap that was being spued about our very own Alun Wyn Jones.


I don't know how you all interpreted the trip but to me it didn't seem that big of a deal. Yes it was stupid, yes he shouldn't have done it, and yes it added extra pressure to his teammates to preform well (which they weren't doing before he was sent off) but was his mistake really the reason Wales lost?

Um NO, because last time I checked rugby was a team sport and if one player being sin binned completely demoralizes your game then you have greater problems than a lock's moment of stupidity.

I was a little bit shocked that many people and many media outlets were basically saying Alun Wyn Jones was the reason Wales lost. I'm guessing that was just their knee jerk reaction in light of the fact that Wales SHOULD HAVE won, England kind of played like crap and Wales should have been able to beat them one man down or not but the fact of the matter is, Wales did not preform well and while both teams were terrible, England was less terrible.

Steven James says it so much better than I can:

I actually think Gatland made too much of the sin-binning. It was important, of course it was. But just because Wales were down to fourteen men did they have to buckle so? The average number of points conceded during a 10-minute sin-binning is seven. So what happened here? 17 points. Wales were poor in that ten-minute period. And still they managed to get themselves back in the game. They still could, maybe should, have won. For England were awful. They were trying to run the clock down from about 25 minutes out, for goodness’ sake.

Let's be honest, if Wales had won this game AWJ's misstep wouldn't even be a blip on the radar but because they lost, he is the scape goat because during those ten minutes England scored 17 points and the team just couldn't recover...clearly this is a team issue.

Mark Cueto is still a babe!


Let's be nice to England before I get to, what you know I'm getting to. That interception by Delon Armitage was BEAUTIFUL! So sick, I finally got excited because the game was getting good...in the dying minutes of the game. And how amazing was Jonny Wilkinson, homeboy made every kick, that public washroom squat is magic, I tell ya! Mark Cueto is a babe, I don't understand how I only became aware of this on Saturday, damn son!

So the curious case of Tom Croft's knee is an on going investigation and Saturday gave us further proof that his injury was no mere accident. mhmm.

POP QUIZ

Q: What is Croft's usual position

A: No. 6 blindside flanker

Q: Now that Croft is injured who wore the No. 6 jersey on Saturday

A: James Haskell and his mouth

Mmmmm, curious, very curious. What's curious still is that The Mouth was able to score two tries and snag man of the match. This is all very convenient since we all know that if Tom were fit, The Mouth would not be invited to Martin Johnson's facebook event that is 'England's starting line up 2010' BUT since Tom is out The Mouth decides to make an impression. Did you see that Neanderthal fist pump thing he was doing after his first try? I mean...


The Mouth knows that he has to be better than good to keep his position on the squad, if he didn't play well Tom could waltz in with those pretty legs of his and take up the No. 6 position but now that The Mouth is making a case for himself, making himself indispensable, he knows Johnno would never pull someone that was 'hot' no coach in their right mind would, and he is using this to his advantage. If The Mouth continues to produce, its Tom Croft that will have to fight and win back his position.

DAMN HIM!

And you know Crofty has absolutely no clue, he's probably sitting there going 'Yey team! James is my friend! One time we were sharing a room and he used up all the hot water in the shower because he didn't want me to get tired and lethargic because he says that's what heat does, so he let me have ALL the cold water, what a gentleman'

*sigh* he doesn't have a chance does he?

You and your mouth better watch out Haskell! We're on to you! We have the internet and we know how to use it!

Did I mention Mark Cueto is a babe?




PS I kind of sort of was dozing off during the game, I had woken up at 5am to work an 8.5 hour shift at work which was INSANELY busy, so if I missed anything do let me know or comment whatever

Alun Wyn Jones, Story Still Developing

I am aware of what went down between Wales and England more specifically Alun Wyn Jones perplexing strategy of tripping. I`ll post my thoughts about about it later, possibly tomorrow or the day after...sorry real life gets in the way.

Douche Bag, Jealous, and Owned

IRELAND HAS WON SIX NATIONS 2009, WUT! WUT! It was well deserved, Ireland was mega-fierce this year! Congratulations boys!


It seems that our boyfriend Tom Croft, has a rivalry going with James Haskell and his mouth (ugh). A 'friendly rivalry' according to Croft but knowing how hard Haskell works and how bad he wants it, he totally hates Croft...with the fire of a thousand suns. Let's make assumptions based on his highlights and lowlights from the Guardian:

Lions wild card: Thom Evans (Scotland). I'm slightly biased because he's an old friend but I thought he looked extremely dangerous on numerous occasions throughout the championship. There's also our very own Tom Croft, damn him.

Let's read into this without any basis at all, shall we?

Firstly why is our boy an afterthought? I doubt he was recalled when England was set to play, arguably the best team in the tournament, for nothing, not only that but England won that game and Croft took home 'man of the match'. Also the 'damn him' at the end, can't you just picture Haskell saying it, with thinly veiled joviality to hide disdain and jealousy. They say that jokes are half truths but in this case, I'm sure we can venture to say that this is 100% truth! Looks like someone's a little green, non?

Oh and we must not forget that it was Haskell that Croft was replacing, because he surely doesn't:

Personal lowlight Losing my place for the last two matches and playing only seven minutes against Scotland. It's obviously important to have the right balance in the pack but that knowledge doesn't make it any less frustrating when you're not in the starting XV – or "axed" as they prefer to describe it in the papers.

OH SNAP!

And its has to hurt that the moment you're replaced your team starts winning games. Oh man this must be keeping him awake at night!

So you're probably wondering, why all the Haskell hate all of a sudden? Well I'll tell you: In 2003 he was suspended from his school because he and his friends video taped one of their other friends and his girlfriend having sex and then showed the tape to an audience in their common room.

So classy, right?

Douche Bag Uniform for a Douche Bag

And please save the 'boys will be boys' bullshit because this is how misogyny is bred. Chalking this behavior up to youth, and raging hormones, when really it has everything to do with attitudes towards women saying we are only here for breeding and a man's entertainment; whether its for sexual gratification or just to have a laugh.

Yea, I doubt him and his friends thought about the girl at all. What it would do to her reputation, to her self esteem, and how everyone would perceive her from thereon in, because if a woman is sexual she's a slut, don't you know?

...I don't know what disgusts me more Haskell's mouth or his behavior, what a douche bag!

Now I know misogyny and professional atheles have an age old relationship but maybe just maybe he could take a few pointers from Captain England himself, Johnny Wilikinson. He very well may be a raging douche bag misogynist but hell we don't know that, he plays everything close to the vest.

Or maybe he could take pointers from our very own Sidney Crosby who is very much an enigma, you'd never catch him recording a friend boinking his girlfriend, why? because he knows the responsibility that comes with being a pro athlete.

Yes at the time he was on the U19s England squad AND he was in the WASP system, so he knew stadium glory was on the horizon...Please don't make excuses, excuses have created this fucked up male-run world.

Looks like someone needs to join Avery and Williams' support group. I'm not going to say who but I think you know him very well...
