Valentine paying the price for his woeful effort against the force and finally some sanity with Giteau moving to inside centre, which he’s been good at in the past.
Phiiiiiiiibbbbssyyyyyyyyyyy! Bay56 loves ya mate!
Sure, he’s not the greatest halfback in the world, but at least he gets the ball out and doesn’t throw it at, or above, people’s heads.
Maybe Gits has advanced far enough in his French lessons that he can now read the French websites that announced in January that Jonny Wilkinson had re-signed for Toulon next year, and doubtless would be first choice no. 10!!
