Room 101: Martin Haag – Nottingham head coach

1. Garlic
I hate garlic for a variety of reasons: 1) it doesn't taste very nice; 2) it makes your breath smell bad; and 3) it repeats on me and makes for an uncomfortable night's sleep. A little bit in spaghetti bolognese I can just about tolerate but generally chefs use way too much. I'm a fairly decent cook but people probably think my food is quite bland because I never use the stuff.
TRP verdict: Clove but no cigar. It's a No I'm afraid.
2. Scrum critics
If scrums didn't exist we'd have a team full of identikit players who weigh 16st and stand 6ft 2in tall. Rugby is a game for all shapes and sizes and it must stay that way. Austin Healey is always knocking the scrum on BT Sport and the other day Alex Lewington, the London Irish winger, said in a newspaper that he gets bored while the scrum is taking place. I agree we need to find a solution to stop so many re-sets occurring, but the scrum is part and parcel of the fabric of the game and should be treasured.
TRP verdict: How about a 4th official who used to play front row officiating on the scrum? Or doing away with kicks at goal from scrum penalties?
3. Unsolicited emails/calls
I must delete 20-30 emails a day from companies trying to sell you something or from individuals trying to scam you. Also, on average, I get a couple of phone calls or texts a day on my mobile about PPI or renewable energy etc. I've never had PPI in my life so I'm not sure why they feel the need to ring me or how they even got my number in the first place. Also, they always seem to ring just when you're ready to sit down and have your dinner and they can get quite arsey when you turn them down. I feel sorry for the gullible people who get caught out.
TRP verdict: These calls leave us cold, too. You're in.
