    The WP’s backs are a little small but they make up for that with some explosive pace.

    Four tries to one. That’s a snotting.

    At least there’s an end to the “unbeaten at home” nonsense, which added in a very luck draw to France a year ago.

    And to the career of The Wet Barry, the dumb crash-basher whose fans imagined him to be a great tackler and a defensive asset…
