Room 101: Wharfedale back-five forward George Hedgley

WHARFEDALE LOOSE FORWARD GEORGE HEDGLEY TAKES US THROUGH HIS PET HATES FROM THE RUGBY WORLD AND BEYOND

1. Gameshows and soaps 

I absolutely cannot stand any of them! They are all monotonous, repetitive drivel. If I had to pick one as the worse, it would be EastEnders and Danny Dyer and his Cockney casuals. Shocking actors, shocking storylines. Combining Danny Dyer anda quiz show is my idea of TV hell.

TRP VERDICT: 

They drive you up The Wall, don’t they!! 

2. Lycra epidemic

Due to the pandemic I have taken up cycling and feel duty bound to don the Lycra apparel that only caters for blokes who resemble a bookie’s pen. Having to shoehorn myself in and then peel myself out of it does not make for a pretty sight.

TRP VERDICT: 

No need to stretch the point, you had us at cycling and lycra.

 3. Man buns and mullets 

I’m undeniably heading towards being a fully fledged member of the Elton John/Wayne Rooney club but, I would take being bald above these barber shop crimes that are being committed among rugby circles any day of the week. Leave the mullet to Lord Patrick of Swayze and Chris Waddle. The only man who can carry a man bun off with any modicum of grace is my good friend Adam Howard.

TRP VERDICT: 

You’ll be pleased to know your chances of a full set haven’t receded. It’s another yes from us.
