Yes - he's been before. That squad is playing on behalf of the Joining Jack (or 'All Join Jack' or something) charity, and features many of Rugby L**gue's finest of the last 10-15 years........... yes they will be tough to beat, but there is a Union squad turning up (Healey, Greenwood, Townsend, rumours of Shane Williams) so it will be one to watch..........

Something along those lines. Not bad for a 5 on 2 situation. It was on of those times when the attack was so quick and unexpected that you have no time to think and your automatic instincts take over.

At the end this Aussie guy who'd seen everything said that the police were on their way and not to worry as he would tell them exactly what happened. With 5 guys in various states on the deck we decided that it probably wasn't the best move to hang around and just bolted.

Lost a full cool bag of Heinies and a pair of Oakleys.... wasn't a happy bunny.

Where abouts does it run? Like roughly? Down in Liwa or stages right the way across the country?

Looked on the website but 90% of it is under construction.

Well played sir.

No need for people to act like twats is there. Especially somewhere full of women, children and big blokes.

Wise move...I've seen a bit bother in the past, police just waded in with batons without asking questions.

Well that's who Healey usually plays for, but he is under contract at ESPN for their Premiership coverage back home so I don't know if he's negotiated a weekend off. Ollie Phillips tweeted today that he's in training for it but I don't think he will be in the main England squad this year so he may be with them.
