Room 101: Jack Waslh – Blackheath scrum-half

1. Scrums
Scrums ruin rugby, they slow the game right down and need to be binned. Either that, or introduce Rugby League-style scrums where the ball goes in and comes out straight away.  I'm just sick of seeing forwards go down in a heap when the rest of us want to play with ball in hand.
TRP verdict: If there weren't any donkeys in the team pushing at scrum-time, you'd have no-one to boss around. So, it's a No I'm afraid.
2. Calf socks
Those of us who play on the circuit know about this strange fashion phenomenon. It must be a fashion statement because I can't see any medical reason why people would wear calf socks.  I believe Quade Cooper and James O'Connor were the trend-setters. Keep your socks on your feet, is what I say.
TRP verdict: Calf socks. Surely you're pulling our leg? It's that daft, though, it's got to go in.
3. Traffic
Commuting from Croydon to Sunbury on a daily basis can be a real chore especially when the M25 is chock-a-block … as it always is. What should be a 40-minute journey can sometimes take an hour-and-a-half. Not even Kiss 100 can ease the pain of not getting above 5mph.
TRP verdict: I guess that's the price you pay for living near London. It's a red light from us.
