Sorry lads - I’m going to have to bail. Got a chest infection and booze is off the menu for me

    Poor Dutchy…. You’re going to have to sit this one out on the touchline with the half-time oranges and the fat wheezy boys with a note from the matron, while Grant and his young blood’s link arms and go together for the glorious final scrum down.

    RichM I’m sort of pulling your leg, it’s not the big C, I’ve got Dupytren’s in my both hands and the left one, which was only operated on 18 months, has gone mental. It’s not great, but it’s not the big C. Getting radiotherapy every day this week, then the same two months later. 30% channce it fails or gets worse.
