    Hurricanes play in Super 15 as well!

    Hurricane - Fokker*

    * - I'm saying nothing.....

    Oh, on second thoughts.... When Daimler bought Fokker they had a presentation day at the Fokker Museum. The Daimler CEO gave a speech standing next to the very first airplane made by Fokker. When he mentioned this fact to the assembled gathering, he said that "I suppose you could call this the Mother Fokker........."

    Allegedly....

    Off topic

    Taff, where do you stand regarding the WRU's ruling of having a minimum of 60 caps, if you play 'abroad' and can be considered for being eligible to be
    selected for Wales ?

    Hi Nick,

    It's an attempt to keep the better younger players in Wales.

    The agreement reached between the WRU & Regions is an attempt to:

    A) allow the Welsh Coach to have "access to and control over" Welsh players whenever they are required/selected for National duty.

    B) help protect the Regions against the fat wallets of the French & English clubs.

    C) encourage the players to recognise that (local clubs and) the Development Programmes of the Regions have helped them become better players.

    The model is, I understand, similar to the one operated by Australia.

    It would not be required if the WRU properly funded the Regions - as the Irish do with Munster, Leinster & Ulster, and the SRU with Glasgow.

    Thank you Taff - I appreciate you taking the time to explain the rationale behind the stance, it is of course the correct attitude. Unfortunately, the elephant in the room is that one word (to your dismay) - Finance.

    Messerschmitt - Stuka

    On that note Mein Herr - Gute Nacht
