ROOM 101
THE EALING FLANKER AND CAPTAIN TAKES US THROUGH HIS PET HATES FROM THE RUGBY WORLD AND BEYOND
1. Snoring
Having a teammate ruin your night before a game away tends to bring out violent tende ncies in me especially when they sleep like the dead and c annot be w oken up. I'm not pointing at anyone in particular (Kieran Murphy).
TRP VERDICT: Sorry this choice is enough to put anyone to sleep!
2. Being mimicked
Not a day goes by without someone in the squad doing a poor attempt at my (South African) accent, saying things like ‘Yaaa', ‘Howzit' or ‘Lekka Lekka'. Our accent is weird enough without the English trying to butcher it further. You know who you are!
TRP VERDICT: It Afrikaan-t go in I'm afraid.
3. Fashionistas
By this I specifically mean my teammates' obsession with my clothing choices. The constant scrutiny fired my way for my choice of jeans or shoes makes me won -der if I've got some teammates who might be better suited for the catwalk than the rugby field!
TRP VERDICT : The clothes horse has already bolted. It's another no.
